As Victory Girl, Nina, discussed here, yet another round of terrorist attacks hit yesterday, the deadliest one striking the Christkindl market in Berlin, Germany as shoppers prepared for Christmas. As is typical of any breaking news, conflicting reports flowed out of Berlin fast and furiously. As of this morning, here’s what we know:

• The “weapon” used was an “articulated lorry,” the equivalent of our semi-trailer trucks. It was reportedly stolen from a construction site. The driver is said to have turned off the truck’s lights as he “intentionally” drove it into a crowd of shoppers at sixty kilometers per hour. The attack mirrors the Nice, France attack in July.
• Police say the original driver, who is reported as Polish, was found shot dead in the truck’s cabin. He has been described by some news sources as an “accomplice.”
• Twelve people are deceased, and another 48 are injured, some critically.
• Several sources say German police are presuming the attack terrorism.
