On a Monday evening in Leipzig, Germany, a silver sedan drove into pedestrians along one of the city's busiest commercial streets, killing two people and leaving roughly twenty others caught in the violence. The driver did not flee — he stopped the car himself and waited, still behind the wheel, when police arrived. Authorities have contained the immediate threat, but the question of why this happened remains unanswered, leaving a city of 630,000 to sit with grief and uncertainty in equal measure.
