The shocked community of Winnenden packed into a church in the small German town on Wednesday night to mourn the 16 victims of a killing spree in the local secondary school earlier in the day. Tim K went on the rampage in his former secondary school on Wednesday morning, killing three teachers and nine students between the age of 15 and 16. The 17-year-old shot dead three more people in a supermarket car park as he tried to flee armed police officers, before later turning the gun on himself.
