Original Post
This morning's true horror story is the tale of a school shooting at the Albertville school in Winnenden, Germany. According to the Winnender Zeitung, 11 people were killed, 9 of them students at the school. A spokesperson at a psychiatric hospital next to the school told Der Spiegel that the gunman took another victim on the hospital grounds as he fled the scene. A police spokesperson later stated that the killer 'shot indiscriminately around.' [Auf deutsch: "Der Täter hat einfach um sich geschossen." - many thanks to reader Frieke for correcting the translation.]
The killer, who graduated rom Albertville 2 years ago, was allegedly clad in 'black combat gear' when he began his assault around 9:30 in the morning. Some German media sources have stated that he focused his assault on two classrooms inside the facility.
Der Spiegel reported that special police units stormed the shooter's home after the massacre. They found at least 18 weapons. His father, a wealthy businessman, and his mother are under interrogation.
There are conflicting reports as to the shooter's fate. Der Spiegel stated the killer was still on the loose, but Bild.de reported that he was killed at the Wendlinger shopping mall after shooting two people there.

'simply must be shot.' The Germans do get right to the point, don't they? LOL!!!

That's a wrong translation. Litererally it means "The perpetrator simply shot indiscriminately around".
Apart from that, my heart goes out to the families of those killed.
