Two twelfth grade students and their German language teacher from a Berlin high school (Paula-Fürst-Gemeinschaftsschule) have died during the attack, all three were female. Another student of the school was injured and is currently in the hospital. Bild.de reports that the students were on a school trip in Nice at the time of the attack.

The district mayor of Berlin Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Reinhard Naumann stated: "We are deeply shocked by the death of two students and a teacher of the first baccalaureate year of the Paula-Fürst-Gemeinschaftsschule and mourn with their parents, the entire school, families and friends of the victims. We stand with you side by side and we will secure appropriate support. As a sign of deep sorrow the buildings of the district offices were flagged at half-mast. "

The attacker drove the truck in a zigzag manner through the crowd. He was shot and killed by police.
