Gunmen kills 16 in German school shooting rampage | Herald Sun
The death toll in the shooting in Germany included the 17-year-old masked gunman, 10 pupils, three teachers and three passers-by, police say.
They were killed in the shooting spree at the secondary school in Winnenden, said Heribert Rech, the interior minister of the southern state of Baden-Wuerttemberg.
Armed commandos with helicopters and dogs launched a massive hunt for the 17-year-old gunman, and police sources told AFP that he was then killed in a fire-fight with police.
German media reports said that he had shot himself dead in the car park of a nearby shopping centre after kidnapping a man and his Volkswagen Sharan car and driven through a police barrier towards the motorway.
"The gunman just sprayed bullets all around him," N-TV cited an unnamed witness as saying. A local radio journalist told the same channel that the ex-pupil had used a machine gun during his rampage.
The Bild daily said on its website that police commandos had stormed the home of the teenager's parents, where 18 weapons were legally held.
It was not immediately clear whether the gunman used any these guns in his attack.
Well I'ts not the first and it won't be the last:(
