March 11th: Tim Kretschmer Kills (The Winnenden Shooting)(2009) School shootings are, unfortunately, not something that just happens in the US. On March 11th 2009 a school shooting took place in Germany that took the lives of 16 individuals and saw the end of the shooter’s life. A school shooting that, in the aftermath, saw legislative change that would, hopefully, prevent this from happening again in the future.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnenden_school_shooting, https://murderpedia.org/male.K/k/kretschmer-tim.htm, http://criminal-justice.iresearchnet.com/crime/school-violence/tim-kretschmer/, http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/03/11/germany.school.shooting/, https://www.reuters.com/article/us-germany-shooting/german-warned-of-barbecue-on-eve-of-shootings-idUKTRE52B2SY20090312 Learn more about your ad choices.
