As of 12:28 AM nothing really new anymore, I'll update you tomorrow if there is anything
Official numbers now speak of
4 dead and 205 injured, many of them severely injured.
The prime suspect, a 50 year old doctor of psychiatry of Saudi Arabian origin, is alleged to be a wanted criminal in Saudi Arabia. He first entered Germany in 2006, 18 years ago. A rental BMW SUV with a Munich license plate was used to plow through a fairytale-themed section of a Christmas market, at Friday evening prime time, ripe for families with young children.
Updates (local time)

5 dead

This post is kept up to date with information as best as I can
Despite publicly, on the Internet, announcing his intent to wage a war against Europe and to drive through civilians, law enforcement and the state did absolutely nothing.
But law enforcement does not waste any time whining about strict data protection laws, begging for video surveillance, facial recognition, and mass data retention.
What law enforcement agencies in Germany actually do is kick down the doors of pensioners who call politicians knuckleheads (
Community Happenings), imprison someone for accusing a politician of telling fairy tales (
Community Happenings), and use intelligence agencies against domestic oppositional political parties (
Community Happenings).
And the media are already blaming the AfD and agitating against Elon Musk.

Either way, expect the official numbers to go up as people won't make it.
