Title: 17 dead in Germany shooting spree
Post by: jinxmchue on March 11, 2009, 10:51:16 AM
BERLIN, March 11 -- A gunman dressed in black combat fatigues burst into a German secondary school Wednesday morning and launched a shooting rampage, killing 13 people before fleeing the area, authorities said.

Authorities said the 17-year-old suspect was fatally shot after commandeering a vehicle in the city of Winnenden and driving about 40 kilometers to another town, where he left the vehicle in the parking lot of a car dealership and killed two more people.

He then exchanged gunfire with police, injuring two officers, police said. It was not immediately clear whether the gunman was shot by police during that exchange or took his own life.

A very surprising story considering that it's pretty hard to get a gun in Germany at all, and this little asshole was apparently a minor to boot.

Very little to be grateful about in either story except that the perps are dead too.

No need to waste massive amounts of resources to try and convict either one. Money would be better spent on the victims' families.

Germany has having their own problems with school shootings like in America. My condolences to anyone who lost loved ones.

I'm sad that there were so many victims and they paid a price for some demented assholes idea of revenge.
