Is there anything contentious or questionable in the infobox? I'll take a bit of exception to saying he "targeted" a school when he (apparently) just entered one, but that aside, it seems to fit with what sources agree he did. Also where, when and how. Nobody's rushed to add a "why", which is good;

There's no apparent connection between the others, either. Just similar in their knives, cops and Belgium. If we start excluding events from the series, despite the chronology in reliable sources, we look like we're trying to construct a pattern specifically for Muslims or foreigners, and why else

Sources do not make the connection. One is behind a paywall so I can't verify, the other, the BBC story, states simply "Later in 2016 a man attacked two police officers with machetes while shouting "Allahu Akbar" before being shot dead.". It doesn't specify which stabbing, and more importantly, it

the most questionable question after a killer dies with the answer. But so long as we don't hazard a guess, I think we have ample evidence to place the former Mr. Herman at the scene of his crimes. We certainly
