A car rammed into a group of pedestrians in Mannheim, Germany, killing at least two people and injuring several others, police said.

An 83-year-old woman and a 54-year-old man were killed and several more were injured Monday in a suspected car-ramming in the west German city of Mannheim, officials said.

Police would not immediately characterize the incident as an attack, but cars have been used as deadly weapons in recent months in Germany.
