Church bells tolled in Magdeburg, Germany, at the exact time a man intentionally drove his car into a crowd of people last night, killing five and injuring more than 200.
A nine-year-old child is among the dead.
The suspect surrendered to police at the scene.
Officials say he's from Saudi Arabia and has lived in Germany for nearly 20 years.
A review of his social media accounts show he shared anti-Islamic statements and expressed support for Germany's far right anti-immigrant political party.
CHANCELLOR OLAF SCHOLZ, Germany (through translator): It is now important that we clarify the situation and that this is done with the utmost precision and accuracy.
Nothing must remain uninvestigated.
And of course, we must understand the perpetrator, his actions, his motives, so that we can respond with the necessary criminal and other consequences.
And we will.
JOHN YANG: Investigators say the attack may have been motivated by anger over Germany's treatment of Saudi refugees.
A missile fired from Yemen made it past Israel's anti-missile defense systems and landed in Tel Aviv overnight.
The Israeli military blamed Houthi rebels for the attack that injured 16 people.
The Houthis say they were aiming for a military target.
The IDF said it hit a playground and a school.
World champion skier Lindsey Vonn is back on the slopes, ending more than five years of retirement.
The 40-year-old finished 14th in a super G race in Switzerland, just a little more than a second behind the winner.
Vonn retired in 2019 but had knee replacement surgery this year and started competing again.
And baseball legend Rickey Henderson has died.
The hall of Famer is Major League Baseball's all-time stolen bases leader.
He played on nine teams over 25 years, 14 of them with the Oakland Athletics.
Rickey Henderson would have turned 66 on Christmas Day.
