He gratefully thanked the people who kept cool in the stadium and who had reacted to the situation in a prudent way. This made the work extremely easy this evening. BVB and the security forces are also thanked. All have worked very closely together. "We are preparing for tomorrow, both teams will be protected and the stadium will be kept in mind, and we will do everything we can to make sure the game is safe." In conclusion, he stated that he had to bring the sad sentence that it was never 100% secure. But the police will do everything they can to ensure a smooth evening.

Police have confirmed that the Dortmund team bus was the intended target of the attack. It is not clear whether the contents of the letter they discovered led them to that conclusion, although they presumably have other reasons for suspecting it, as they have not yet authenticated the letter. They also say that tomorrow’s match will go ahead under heightened security.
 
The break was in his wrist and his condition is now serious. Shrapnel is also embedded in his arm. Undergoing surgery now.
 
Fortunately, it seems they weren't successful, as they had hoped to be.
