BERLIN (AP) \u2014 The suspect in a car-ramming<\/a> in the German city of Leipzig that left two people dead doesn’t appear to have had any political or religious motive, but had spent time recently at a psychiatric hospital, investigators said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old German man was arrested on Monday afternoon in the car that authorities say he had driven several hundred meters through a street in a busy central shopping area. Two people \u2014 a 63-year-old woman and a 77-year-old man, both of them German \u2014 were killed. Six other people were injured, two of them seriously.<\/p>\n
