Menden, Germany - A car rammed a parade in the German town of Menden on Sunday, killing at least two people and injuring 12 to 15, ambulance officials said. A club of marksmen were walking in costume through the town, 75 kilometres east of Dusseldorf, as part of festivities to celebrate the club's 60th anniversary. A witness, Johannes Ismar, said others told him the car was driven by an elderly man who apparently lost control. "He might have had a heart attack," said Ismar.
