The incident in Münster occured on the anniversary of the Stockholm van attack. On April 7, 2017, Rakhmat Akilov, a rejected asylum seeker, hijacked a lorry and drove it into a crowd of civilians. Five people were killed and 14 others were seriously injured.

Not the man who drove the vehicle but the vehicle itself.
Not the man that pulled the trigger but the guns and every law abiding gun owner.
Not the knifer but the knives. https://t.co/Wtr1TldY6n
