There was initially no information on a possible background to the incident from government circles. It was therefore also unclear whether it was possibly a terrorist attack.
An eyewitness said that the Christmas market was teeming with ambulances and paramedics. Magdeburg's Christmas market is located on the Alter Markt, right next to Magdeburg's town hall near the River Elbe. There is a large shopping center near the Christmas market. Videos were shown on Platform X in the evening, in which numerous emergency vehicles could be seen.
