Odd that they mention the 15 guns he didn't use.

15 guns found at German school killer's home

WINNENDEN, Germany (CNN) -- Police searching for a motive behind the shooting which left 15 people dead in Germany have found 15 guns at the killer's home and video games played by other mass killers.

German shooter Tim Kretschmer, 17, targeted females during his rampage.

Police said Thursday that the guns belonged to 17-year-old killer Tim Kretschmer's father, who was a gun club member.
Regional police director Ralf Michelfelder said that under German law legally purchased weapons had to be kept in places inaccessible to anyone who wasn't the license-holder.
Officials searching Kretschmer's home computer found several games that suspects in other mass school shootings also had on their terminals.

Kretschmer, dressed in military gear, began his rampage about 9:45 a.m. Wednesday at Albertville-Realschule school in Winnenden, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) northeast of Stuttgart.
Most of the victims at the school were female -- eight female students, three female teachers and one male student, said Heribert Rech, interior minister for Baden Wuerttemberg region.

Kretschmer did not shoot wildly, Rech said, hitting most of his victims in the head.
The gunman killed three others -- one at a nearby psychiatric clinic, and two at a car dealership -- before he was spotted by police about three hours and a half hours later.
Michelfelder said it was still not clear whether the gunman then committed suicide or was shot by officers.

He said prompt action from teachers at the school had saved lives. They knew to barricade themselves inside classrooms, keep students away from windows and get everyone to lie on the floor.
Michelfelder said Kretschmer may have planned to confine his attack to the school but the prompt action of teachers locking down their classrooms and the arrival of police -- who exhanged fire with him -- forced him to flee.

He said police found more than 60 spent rounds from the gunman's 9 mm Beretta pistol, indicating that he must have fired at least five dozen times.

They also found a "large number" of bullets that the gunman either dropped or tossed as he fled the campus.

Rech said the dead were taken completely by surprise.
"Some of the victims still had their pens in their hands."

Kretschmer opened fire in three first floor classrooms, including a physics lab where a teacher was found dead behind her desk, Rech told a news conference.

Student Louis Schweizer was in class when he heard the gunshots. "When I came out, I saw the shell casings lying around everywhere," he said.
His sister, Lisa Schweizer, also heard the shots. "It is a tragedy," she said. "One of my teachers was killed."

Another student told CNN: "We heard that someone was inside shooting. Then we also saw a teacher who had blood on his hands because he wanted to help a female teacher who sacrificed herself for a student -- she stood in front of a student to protect her."

Fifteen-year-old Natta lost a long-time friend. "She was a very good friend of mine from soccer, and I knew her since we were four years old and it's very hard," she said.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said it was "inconceivable that within seconds school students and teachers have been put to death by this terrible crime."

"It is a day of mourning for the whole of Germany," she said.
About 1,000 students attend the school where the killings began.

"It (Winnenden) is a small town, an idyllic town," said Frank Nipkau, the editor in chief of Winnenden Zeitung newspaper. "The town people are devastated and they can't understand why this is happening in this town."
Security at German schools has been an issue in the past.
In November 2006, an 18-year-old former student strapped explosives to his body and went on a rampage at a middle school in western Germany, shooting and wounding six people -- most of them students -- before killing himself.
In July 2003, a 16-year-old student shot a teacher before taking his own life at a school in the southern German town of Coburg.

A year earlier, 18 people were killed when an expelled student went on a shooting spree at his school in eastern Germany.

So... daddy was a wealthy businessman who legally owned 16 guns, one of which he didn't keep locked up from his spoiled brat, out of touch and largely ignored wretched little crotchfruit. Yet I'm certain those of us who own guns and properly store them away, are now being eyeballed as potential lunatics. If this nutcase had obeyed the law and did not illegally shoot these people, this would not have happened either. Sounds like a dumb thing to say? Laws are for those who abide by them.... your troubles are with criminals who break them. Why should I be punished when a drunk runs over a four year old?
