A deadly vehicle attack at Berlin Pride has sent shockwaves across Germany, leaving one dead and several injured — including a child. The 21-year-old attacker, Abdul Ballout, had been convicted of preparing a violent act and was released under supervision after a suspended sentence.

Authorities have released a second suspect due to insufficient evidence, while the investigation continues with a focus on preventing future tragedies.
