Massacre at German secondary school
March 11th, 2009
His name was Tim K. . At the moment we knew that he killed 16 people including himself after his leg was injured by the police. At about 9:30am he, totally dressed in black, entered 2 classrooms at the Albertville Realschule (type of secondary school) in Winnenden near Stuttgart. There he killed nine pupils at the age of 14-15 and 3 female teachers. On his 3 hours escape the 17 year old shot another 3 passersby and injured several others.
After his act he he forced a man to let him in his car and help him with his escape. At about 12pm he left the car on the highway near Wendlingen, County of Esslingen am Neckar. The man informed the police that the young man was heading to the nearby industrial area. There he entered a VW car dealership and tried to get control of a car.
When he left the building he started shooting at the police standing outside. He injured 2 police officers badly. He was injured in this shootout and shot himself afterwards.
At the moment nobody knows the reason for this massacre. Everybody knew him as a normal young man who was never conspicuous.
There were about 1000 police officers and SEK (like SWAT) officers in action.
Whether the offender was influenced by the rampage in Alabama,US a few hours befor is not certain.
My deepest condolences to all victims.
