Knife Attack in German City Leaves 3 Dead; Suspect Arrested

BERLIN - A man armed with a long knife killed three people and injured five others, some seriously, in Germany's southern city of Wuerzburg on Friday before being shot by police and arrested, authorities said. 

Police identified the suspect as a 24-year-old Somali man living in Wuerzburg. His life was not in danger from his gunshot wound, they said.  Bavaria's top security official Joachim Herrmann said the injured include a young boy, whose father was probably among the dead.  The suspect was in psychiatric treatment before the attack and had been known to police, Herrmann said. There was no immediate word on a possible motive.
