Three acts of seemingly random—and certainly horrific—violence on Monday, June 10th, collectively raise the question: what is going on in Germany?
The country, which is about to begin hosting the European football championship, has seen around 60 knife attacks per day in recent years.
One of those which took place earlier this week was fatal. A 23-year-old woman was “suddenly” stabbed by a “previously unknown person” during an evening jog in Schermbeck on the Lower Rhine, according to national media. Officials are still appealing for information about the unidentified attacker.
