4 wounded in Germany university shooting; gunman dead

BERLIN (AP) — A lone gunman wounded four people, some of them seriously, during a lecture at Heidelberg University in southwestern Germany on Monday, police said.

Police said that the perpetrator was dead, but didn’t give details of how that happened. They had earlier asked people on Twitter to avoid the Neuenheimer Feld area of Heidelberg, where a large university campus is located.

The man opened fire with a long-barreled firearm in a lecture hall and then fled outside, police said. They stressed that they believe he was acting alone and there was no longer any danger.

There was no immediate word on a possible motive.

Could it be another Sunni Muslim?

No Muslim involved, it was a Hegelian who attacked a group of people discussing Schopenhauer.

After the fatal shooting of students in a lecture hall at Heidelberg University, there is a lead into the right-wing extremist spectrum. The suspected perpetrator, who shot a 23-year-old female student and injured three other students on Monday, apparently had ties to the neo-Nazi party Der Dritte Weg as a youth. ZEIT ONLINE learned this from security circles. According to the report, investigators are said to have found the name of the 18-year-old on an older internal list of the party.

According to police, the biology student entered a Heidelberg lecture hall on Monday armed with a rifle and a shotgun and shot at students there several times during a tutorial. He then left the building and apparently killed himself. The student, who lives in Mannheim, is said to have recently bought the weapons abroad. He did not have a weapons permit, according to investigators. Around 100 rounds of ammunition were found in his backpack.

He had not previously come to the attention of police in Baden-Württemberg. The student, who was born in 2003, is said to have no criminal record. The only known fact is that he had been mentally ill "for a long time". Immediately before the crime, the man had sent a WhatsApp message that now "people have to be punished".

All 4 victims were women, so I think it's safe to assume that the shooter wasn't a Chad.
