The police assume that it was a relationship crime and that the alleged perpetrator is at large.
According to police, a student was killed in an act of violence at a school in St. Leon-Rot, in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. According to the current situation, it is assumed that the crime was committed in a relationship, police said on Thursday. The suspect in the crime, a student, is on the run. The police began a search. According to current knowledge, there is no danger to other people.
An attempt was made to revive the student at school – without success. The school was evacuated and students were being cared for at a collection point, he said. Rescue teams and a helicopter are in action. There are also emergency chaplains, 15 to 20 police vehicles, criminal police and firefighters on site. Police initially provided no further information.
The act is reminiscent of another violent act that occurred in Offenburg last November. At that time, a 15-year-old student shot a fellow student at a special needs school. According to police, the German's attack occurred in the suspect's ninth grade class. The 15-year-old student entered his classroom and shot his classmate in the back of the head with a gun. (APA/dpa)
