2 more deathes in Munich attack as Scholz pays tribute

A 2-year-old child and her mother, a 37-year-old woman, died from injuries sustained after a 24-year-old Afghan man deliberately drove into a crowd of trade union demonstrators on Thursday, the Bavarian state office of criminal investigation confirmed on Saturday evening.

Munich police reported earlier that at least 39 people were injured in the attack. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited the crash site on Saturday afternoon to pay his respects.

"Things like this should not happen," Scholz said as he laid a rose at the site of the attack and observed a moment of silence in memory of the victims. He then met with the rescue and emergency services staff, expressing his gratitude for their efforts in handling the incident.
