- Saxony’s health ministry disclosed Tuesday that the German suspect, 33, had been voluntarily hospitalized in psychiatry until late April, and prosecutors plan to present him to a judge.
- In a separate crash near Rouen Monday morning, a head-on collision on the D913 in Arelaune-en-Seine killed a 46-year-old woman and left a 44-year-old man injured after firefighters, SMUR emergency doctors and gendarmes responded.
