On a Thursday afternoon in Regensburg, Bavaria, a city that sits quietly between Nuremberg and Munich along the Danube, violence entered an ordinary bank branch and claimed a life. A 20-year-old armed with a knife held the space for nearly three hours before a large police operation — special units, a helicopter, the full weight of the state — brought the standoff to a close without further bloodshed. One man did not survive his wounds; two others were led to safety. The question of why this happened remains, as it so often does, unanswered.
