Van slams into Berlin pride parade, kills one, injures at least 15

A van slammed into people gathered for Berlin's famed LGBTQ+ event on Saturday, killing one person, injuring at least 15 others and prompting police to call off the celebrations and a concert in the German capital hours after they had begun.

Police said some of the victims had life-threatening injuries. Firefighters, ambulances and event emergency staffers were attending to the victims.

According to police, a white van had driven into the Tiergarten park, which is next to the route that the pride march had passed along earlier, and hit several people before colliding with a tree.

Police spokesperson says they have not been able to identify a motive at this point.
