Mother, daughter die from injuries suffered in Munich car attack

A 37-year-old mother and her 2-year-old daughter have died from injuries they sustained in the Munich car attack on Thursday.

They were from Munich and the mother was a city staff member, according to a spokesperson for the Bavarian State Office of Criminal Investigation.

At least 37 other people, including several children, were injured after a driver rammed a white Mini Cooper into a crowd during a Verdi trade union demonstration at the center of the city on Thursday morning, according to authorities.

The suspect — a 24-year-old Afghan asylum-seeker residing in Munich on a valid residence permit — acted alone and admitted during questioning to intentionally driving into the crowd, according to Senior Munich Public Prosecutor Gabriele Tillmann.
