brandishing a hi-tech rifle.

The prosecutor said at least 11 people within the school had been wounded by the man. Five of the wounded -- three boys, a girl and a janitor -- received gunshots to the stomach, arms, legs or hands, but none of the injuries were life-threatening.

Looks like "high tech" don't work too good. Just what is a "high tech" rifle anyways...?

How is it that they want to put homeschoolers in jail?....

Oh, I forgot...the government is ultra liberal...and...socialist....

I would want to take my kids of the public shools too!!

German television broadcast pictures they said came from the man's Web site, showing him standing in a forest in camouflaged military fatigues and brandishing a hi-tech rifle.

Funny how brandishing a 'hi-tech rifle', whatever that may be, suddenly makes you more prone to criminal activity. Yet they don't even give the name of this individual...

I assume it's another Playstation 3-related tragedy.

Crazy lutherans.

[Old_Mil]

Is his middle name "Al"?

[Jo Nuvark]

Name and town. Name and town.

[redgolum]

What type of rifle? Don't know the laws about personal firearm ownership in Germany, but where did he get it?

There he was, in the woods, with a gun! Why the *(&# didn't he put the bullet in his head then and there? Why in the world do these losers insist on taking others with them?

[Cinnamon]

oooh! oooh! me! his first name ends in "ein"

...camouflaged military fatigues...

I guess the camouflage didn't work if they were still recognizable as military fatigues?

I am in no way making fun of this story, but the writers and editors are idiots. Being al-reuters, though, I suppose that English might be their second language - after arabic, of course.
