Multiple people wounded in attack at a German school UPDATED: Croatian teen boy with knife and gun injures 2 girls
2026-07-08
[DM] Several people were wounded and a suspect was arrested in an apparent violent attack at a secondary school in the southern German state of Bavaria on Wednesday, police said.

'The arrested individual is a 16-year-old juvenile,' police confirmed in a post on X, later adding that there 'are no indications of additional individuals involved in the offence'.

While the full extent of casualties is still being clarified, two girls were confirmed as 'seriously' wounded, after police initially said 'several' people were injured.

More than 15 patrol cars were dispatched to the Welfen-Gymnasium in Schongau, southwest of Munich.

A police spokesperson told Bavarian broadcaster BR there were indications of a possible shooting spree, as officers urged the public to avoid the area.

Update at 1:45 p.m. EDT: Headline now says knife rampage, but nothing in the body of the article has been changed to support it. Also, two girls injured.
The Mirror has been liveblogging the story:
What we know so far
  • A 16-year-old boy has been arrested after two 13-year-old girls were seriously injured at Welfen High School in Schongau, Bavaria.

  • Police said the suspect was carrying a knife and a firearm and believe he acted alone. Investigators are still working to establish exactly how the girls were injured.

  • Authorities said neither of the victims is in a life-threatening condition. Bavaria's interior minister, Joachim Herrmann, said the suspect is a Croatian national who had previously received psychiatric treatment.

Because the miscreant is Croatian, and therefore probably not a Moslem colonist, leaving this as Page 3: Non-WoT.
