A terrible thing happened on Wednesday this week in the small German town Winnenden (near Stuttgart, very close to where my sister lives) and left the entire country in a state of shock and disbelief. 17-year-old Tim K. took one of his fathers weapons and entered his former school, where he shot 12 people (8 girls, 1 boy, and three teachers). When the police arrived several minutes later, he fled and killed three more people until he was surrounded by cops. When he realized there was no chance to escape, he killed himself.
Now the school has been closed for the time being, memorial services are held, and thousands of candles are lit in front of the school, and at the other places where people lost their lives.

Teacher 'sacrificed herself for student'
Please say a little prayer for those who have lost their lives, and for the loved ones they left behind. Many parents are mourning their children these days...
Thanks,
Kirsten
