Following the brutal assault in Solingen, where an individual wielding a knife took the lives of three innocent victims during a city celebration and left at least five others critically injured, political figures voiced their shock. North Rhine-Westphalia's Interior Minister, Herbert Reul (CDU), arrived at the scene late in the night and appeared visibly distressed. "Out of the blue, someone just stabs random people," Reul lamented. "We in North Rhine-Westphalia are deeply shaken and united in our grief."
Reul also cautioned against jumping to conclusions. "We can't make any assumptions about the individual or their motivations yet," the politician stated after getting a firsthand look at the chilling scene. "There simply aren't any concrete facts available for that."
