MUENSTER, Germany — A van crashed into people drinking outside a popular bar Saturday in the German city of Muenster, killing two people and injuring 20 others before the driver of the vehicle shot and killed himself inside it, police said. Herbert Reul, the interior minister of North Rhine-Westphalia state, where Muenster is located, said the driver of the grey van was a German citizen. Bode told reporters that police were checking witness reports that other perpetrators might have fled from the van at the scene. They told German news agency dpa that was the reason authorities cordoned off such a large area. The Muenster University Hospital put out an urgent call for citizens to donate blood — and so many people rushed to help that long lines of donors formed.
