German car-ramming suspect's motive remains unclear. Officials say he had psychiatric treatment

Germany Car Incident - (DPA)

The suspect in a car-ramming in the German city of Leipzig that left two people dead doesn't appear to have had any political or religious motive, but had spent time recently at a psychiatric hospital, investigators said Tuesday.

The 33-year-old German man was arrested on Monday afternoon in the car that authorities say he had driven several hundred meters through a street in a busy central shopping area. Two people — a 63-year-old woman and a 77-year-old man, both of them German — were killed. Six other people were injured, two of them seriously.
