BREAKING NEWS
updated 3 minutes ago

STUTTGART, Germany - A 17-year-old gunman dressed in black opened fire at his former high school in southwestern Germany on Wednesday, killing at least 15 people before police shot and killed him, a German official said Wednesday.

It was Germany's worst shooting since another teenage gunman killed 16 people and himself in another high school in 2002.

Most of the slain students were found dead in the school and the gunman killed an adult outside the building as he escaped, regional police spokesman Klaus Hinderer said.

"He went into the school with a weapon and carried out a bloodbath," said regional police chief Erwin Hetger. "I've never seen anything like this in my life."

After the attack, the suspect fled the Albertville high school toward the center of Winnenden, a town of 28,000, Hinderer said, before police tracked him down.

The teenager graduated from the school last year, police said.

Witnesses said students jumped from the windows of the school building after the gunman
opened fire. Concerned parents quickly swarmed around the school, which was evacuated during the incident.

The man entered the school at 9:30 a.m. and opened fire, shooting at random, police said. Police said the suspect was dressed in a black.

About 1,000 children attend the school, located in a suburb some 12 miles northeast of Stuttgart.

In 2002, 19-year-old Robert Steinhaeuser shot and killed 12 teachers, a secretary, two students and a police officer before turning his gun on himself in the Gutenberg high school in Erfurt.

Steinhaeuser, who had been expelled for forging a doctor's note, was a gun club member licensed to own weapons. The attack led Germany to raise the age for owning recreational firearms from 18 to 21.

Well, that should keep the Euros from crowing about school shootings for a little while.

Oh, so if a school shooting happens in Europe the reason is that there are "nuts everywhere", if it happens in America it's because of our evil culture and gun laws. I'll make a note of that.

Make a note, draw a map, wathever pleases you. FYI, I never said "only in America" when we had these school shootings in America. You don't even know me and you lump me together with every other "Euro"...

Redundant.

You need to stop working so hard at making friends. It comes across as pretty needy.  ::)

My guess: FPS games will be found on his PC and computer games and other media will be blamed for his violent behavior. There'll be a further tightening of violence censorship in Germany; like 7 years ago after the Erfurt shootings.

Never mind his social environment or that his dad had 16 (legally acquired) guns in the house.
