Teen Murders People

Today, there was a seventeen year old boy using a Beretta 9 mm pistol went into classrooms at his former high school and shot students. Some of whom died with their pencils still in hand. In a rampage that ended with 15 dead before he took his own life, authorities said. There was no immediate indication of motive. The gunman's victims were primarily female. Eight of nine students killed were girls, and all three teachers were women. Three men were killed later as the suspect, identified by police as Tim K., fled. The gunman dressed in all black took students in the first classroom completely by surprise. This was evidenced by the scene that awaited the first officers to arrive, said regional police director Ralf Michelfelder. The dark haired teen, shown wearing glasses in pictures on German television probably took the weapon from his father's collection of 16 firearms along with a "multitude of ammunition," police said. His father was a member of the local gun club. His father also kept the weapons locked away except for the pistol, which was kept in the bedroom. Police said the suspect was a German teen who was a below-average student at the school of about 1,000 pupils, but managed to graduate last year.
