Winnenden: A 17-year-old gunman dressed in black opened fire inside his former high school in southwestern Germany on Wednesday killing 15 people, 11 of them women and girls, before turning the gun on himself, authorities said.
Police said the attacker`s father, a gun club member, owned 16 guns, one of which was missing.
The gunman entered the school in Winnenden at 9:33 am after classes had begun and opened fire, shooting at random, police said. He killed nine students, three teachers and a passer-by outside the building, officials said. Two other people were killed later.
