(Deutsche Welle) Bavarian State Premier Markus Söder attended a memorial service on Sunday for the victims of the knife attack in the city of Würzburg, around 120 kilometers (74.5 miles) east of Frankfurt.
“We cannot answer such a hateful deed with hate and revenge,” Söder said, two days after a Somali man went on a rampage with a knife in the city center, killing three people and injuring six.
The conservative leader criticized people who labeled the attacker as “someone with migrant background,” pointing out that other people with immigrant backgrounds rushed to help the victims and subdue the attacker.
“Good and evil are not an issue of nationality, religion and ethnicity,” he said.
