A man wielding an axe and a knife has been shot dead after injuring at least 15 people in a rampage on a train in Germany.
Several of the victims are in a serious condition, police spokesman Fabien Hench told Sky News.
The attack took place between Ochsenfurt und Wuerzburg-Heidingsfeld train stations at around 21.15 local time.
The attacker was shot dead by police as he tried to flee the scene, the spokesman said.
The world is falling apart because people choose to keep their heads in the sand and continue thinking everything is ok.
This just goes to show that firearms aren't always the weapon of choice for those that want to kill or maim multiple targets.
Things will only get worse!
Register axes. That will fix it.
All we are asking for is common sense axe control.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought killing a non muslim/infidel with a bladed weapon up close and personal was the purest method of carrying out jihad. I know my grandfather had to deal with the Moros in the Philippines back in the 30's who adhered to that belief.

Thanks for clarifying that. I was sincerely hoping it was not one of my ancestors going on a Viking Rampage......
Muhammad probably just misses the family goat.
Ah, a Muslim refugee...and the Obama administration pushes for more importation of non-assimilating Muslims.
Non-assimilating Muslims = violence and Sharia law - both not good for this country - that's not rocket science.
Distinguishing between assimilating Muslims and non-assimilating Muslims however appears to be quite difficult - innocents pay the price for any governmental mistakes.
Europe is the canary in the coal mine.
The attacker was identified by stunned government officials after a huge investigation was launched just hours after the bloody attack exploded.
I'm sure this is just a journalist ginning up big exciting words for readers but I almost believe it. I hope that they are able to ascertain this poor, young, undocumented illegals motivation!

I'm calling for an immediate ban on Assault Axes.
I know my grandfather had to deal with the Moros in the Philippines back in the 30's who adhered to that belief.
And that's why the .45 Caliber Colt Automatic Pistol was invented.
Really.
You can look it up:
American units fighting Moro guerrillas during the Philippine–American War using the then-standard Colt M1892 revolver, .38 Long Colt, found it to be unsuitable for the rigors of jungle warfare, particularly in terms of stopping power, as the Moros had high battle morale and often used drugs to inhibit the sensation of pain. The U.S. Army briefly reverted to using the M1873 single-action revolver in .45 Colt caliber, which had been standard during the late 19th century; the heavier bullet was found to be more effective against charging tribesmen. The problems prompted the then–Chief of Ordnance, General William Crozier, to authorize further testing for a new service pistol.
The world is falling apart because people choose to keep their heads in the sand and continue thinking everything is ok.
This just goes to show that firearms aren't always the weapon of choice for those that want to kill or maim multiple targets.
Things will only get worse!
Maybe diversity and equal equality will fix it.
Seriously.........Maybe Saddam was on to something. He must have saw the absolute worst in people and knew they couldn't be trusted with their own decision making abilities.

Correct. My dad gave me that history lessen many times when I was a kid. My grandad had to switch up from his .38 to a .45 Hog Leg until the army issued him a .45 Colt Semi-Auto.

Wait, what? :confused:
Every article about a terrorist attack in Israel includes a line that goes something like "... a number of people were treated for shock and released by paramedics at the scene." Maybe they were people who were covered in other victims' blood but were not, themselves, harmed? Either way, it's a non-issue to me.

So, he was an unaccompanied 15y/o Afghan 'minor' refugee admitted to the country and living with in a foster home for the past two years. Where he had time to hand paint an Islamic State flag.
While yelling Allahu Akbar on the train slashing an old man, his old wife, and two middle aged children vacationing from China.
And this is the women and children our administration wants to bring here. What could go wrong?
German media are reporting four injured, with two in critical condition. The emergency brake was pulled, the perp jumped out. German SWAT team happened to be in the area and pursued him. There was a confrontation and he was killed.
I'm calling for an immediate ban on Assault Axes.
Oh hell no !!!! :eek: :mad:
Ima gonna go block a highway now ....
Not that it really means anything ....
Investigators Find ISIS Flag in the Home of Man Behind German Train Attack
(BERLIN) — A 17-year-old Afghan asylum seeker who shouted “Allahu akbar” (“God is great”) during an axe and knife attack on a train, injuring at least five people, had a hand-painted flag of the Islamic State group in his room, a senior German security official said Tuesday.
The attacker attempted to flee, but was shot and killed by a special police unit which happened to be nearby.
“Even during the first emergency call, a witness said that the attacker was shouting ‘Allahu akbar’ on the train,” Joachim Herrmann, Bavaria’s interior minister, told ZDF Television. “Also, during the search of his room, a hand-painted IS flag was found.”
Herrmann said that it was too early to draw conclusions about the attacker’s motive. YGBSM !!!! :eek: :rolleyes:
The attacker, who was not identified by the authorities, came to Germany two years ago as an unaccompanied minor, and applied for asylum in March of last year. He lived in a home for young refugees until two weeks ago when he was placed with a foster family in the Wuerzburg area. Investigators were talking to the foster family, witnesses and the attacker’s friends.
The attacker injured at least four people on the train near Wuerzburg-Heidingsfeld on Monday night, and also a woman outside the train as he fled.
Witnesses said the interior of the train was covered with blood and looked “like a slaughterhouse,” the German news agency dpa reported. About 30 passengers were on the train at the time; more than a dozen were treated for shock.
The attacker jumped off the train after someone pulled the emergency cord and got about 500 meters (yards) away before the police special unit chased him. As police drew near, the assailant started attacking the officers and was shot, dpa reported, quoting Herrmann.
On Tuesday morning, officers could be seen removing the attacker’s body from the scene.
Herrmann said at least two victims — members of a Chinese tourist family — were in critical condition.
German officials did not identify the victims, but Hong Kong’s immigration department said Tuesday that among those injured in the attack were four members of a family of five from the southern Chinese city. The department said it is working to provide assistance to the family but gave no details of their injuries.
Dpa reported that the attacker injured the 62-year-old father, the 58-year-old mother, their adult daughter and her boyfriend. The teenage son was not injured. The father and the boyfriend had tried to defend the other family members, dpa said.
Germany last year registered more than 1 million asylum seekers entering the country, including more than 150,000 Afghans.
In May, a man stabbed four people at a German train station in a random early-morning attack in Grafing near Munich. One man later died. The attacker, a German citizen, also shouted “Allahu akbar” during the attack, but authorities found no evidence of links to Islamic extremists. He was later sent to a psychiatric hospital.
