Incident at German School Leaves Two Injured
A 16-year-old has been detained by authorities after an attack at a secondary school in Schongau, located in Upper Bavaria, Germany, resulted in serious injuries to two 13-year-old girls. Local police have confirmed that the suspect was found carrying both a knife and a firearm.
Police Response and Investigation
Following the attack at Welfen-Gymnasium, a major police operation was launched. Investigators are currently working to determine the full extent of the incident, including the number of people involved and the specific injuries sustained by the victims. Fortunately, the injuries are not considered life-threatening.
While initial reports suggested a knife attack, the exact nature of the weapons used remains under investigation. The police have not confirmed whether the suspect had any connection to the school. According to a police spokeswoman, the event is being treated as a "rampage."
Official Statements and Background
Bavaria's Interior Minister, Joachim Herrmann, commented on the situation during a broadcast on Bayerischer Rundfunk. He mentioned that the girls appeared to have been stabbed, though this has yet to be officially confirmed. Herrmann also noted that the suspect had a history of psychiatric treatment and might have previously been a student at the school.
In response to the incident, a support contact point has been established at a local fire station to assist relatives and parents of students. The school, established in 1887, was originally a girls' school but has been co-educational for the past four decades.
