Prosecutor: Suspected gunman inconspicuous so far
According to investigations, the suspected shooter in Offenburg has so far been inconspicuous. The teenager had never been conspicuous for aggressive offenses, said the head of the Offenburg public prosecutor's office, Iris Janke, at a press conference on Tuesday. However, according to the public prosecutor, the fatal attack on a fellow pupil last Thursday shows that there is considerable potential for aggression. "Both against others and against himself." The 15-year-old had deliberately gone into the classroom and fired several shots at the back of a pupil's head in the presence of his classmates.
The German suspect is in custody on suspicion of manslaughter.
The school environment was usually peaceful for the suspected shooter, with no prior links to crime. Despite this, the incident at school revealed hidden aggression and potential for harm.
