A pensioner has died and two others injured after an attacker ploughed a car into pedestrians in a busy square in Germany.
The man, who was believed to be carrying a knife, was shot by police after the attack in the German city of Heidelberg on Saturday.
Police spokeswoman Anne Baas said one of the three people struck outside a bakery on Saturday afternoon was a pensioner and was seriously hurt.
The elderly victim, who was a German 73-year-old man, later died of his injuries.
The suspect - thought to be a 35-year-old German - reportedly fled before being found by a police patrol.
He was then shot by an officer following a short stand-off.
Police said the suspect was taken to hospital and underwent an operation.
Two other victims, a 32-year-old Austrian man and a 29-year-old Bosnian woman, were also hurt.
Another police spokesperson, Norbert Schaetzle, told local TV media a terrorist background is not suspected.
Prosecutors and police believe the man appears to have acted alone.
