School Shooting Rampage Foiled in Germany:
The way the article read last night it sounded like that the suspect who killed himself in the plot to attack the Georg-Buechner school killed himself while being pursued but that’s not the case. The suspect identified as Rolf B. threw himself in front of the tram after being questioned by police.
Police questioned one of the would-be attackers, a 17-year-old student named only as Rolf B., about the Columbine photos last Friday. He had said he was only trying prevent a repeat of the April 1999 massacre of 12 students and one teacher in the US state of Colarado, and agreed to remove the photos from his school’s student Web forum. He then committed suicide on his way home by throwing himself under a tram.
His cohort, identified as Robin G., was a little bit more forthcoming with the actual details.
According to media reports, Robin G. told police: “We wanted to cause injuries and kill people and then we wanted to kill ourselves.” Cologne newspaper Express quoted a student who recalls Robin G. asking him several weeks ago: “Can you get me a gun?”
Still no details on what caused them to want to kill so many people outside of being mutants of course.
