What happened

Two people have been arrested in connection with knife attack at a festival in Solingen, Germany. Authorities described the three people killed as a 67-year-old man, a 56-year-old man and a 56-year-old woman. Authorities did not find the person responsible, but a 15-year-old boy was arrested. This is because police believe he knew about the planned attack. A second arrest was made the day after the attack. This police operation, however, took place in a refugee home in Solingen. Furthermore, of the eight people wounded, four were seriously injured. German police are still looking for the possible perpetrator of the crime, through various searches and investigations throughout the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
