A man who mowed down pedestrians in the German city of Heidelberg, killing one man, is being held on suspicion of murder and attempted murder, authorities said Sunday.

Two other people were injured in Saturday’s incident, according to police who ruled out extremism or terrorism as a motive. The driver was tracked down by police and shot.

"There are no indications of a terrorist background," a spokesman for German police David Faulhaber said, according to Sky News.
