16 July 2026: Germany

1. It's been an odd week.

Back on Monday in Hamburg....Albanian guy in his 20s...turns himself in to the police after killing a 79-year-old German.

Tuesday evening, over in Kelkheim: A Croat guy (60s) kills his wife (58) in the middle of town....with a machete.

Wednesday morning, Ruhpolding area: An Afghan young guy (20s) pulls a knife during a driver's license check.  Then he chases around school kids at a train station. No one harmed.

Wednesday morning, Dresden.  A Turk  is noted walking around a grocery parking lot with a 'musket' (I checked on translation....'antique gun' was the term used, but witnesses describe it as a 1800s type musket.  Cops called....arrive.  They order the Turk to settle down.  He refuses....fires one round from the musket....cops return fire, and wound him in the supermarket parking lot.  My question...where would you buy a musket?

Wednesday morning, Iserlohn: A Syrian (mid-20s) assaults a woman (59) in a supermarket, leaving her with severe facial injuries

Wednesday around noon...Trier....Afghan guy (mid-20s) stabs dead a 22-year-old German university student "in an argument".

2.   Berlin City election results expected.....SPD-Green-Linke Party led.

3.  N-TV report....for European car industry....could go as high as  three-quarters of a million car industry workers to be 'let-go'.
