The 17 year old committed suicide. The 18 year old is in custody. Both were infatuated with the 1999 Columbine High School shootings in the United States.
"Police also discovered a list of 17 names of teachers and pupils believed to be intended victims.
The elder of the two friends felt bullied at school and fitted the profile of a potential killer, police said.
Last year on November 20, the date of the planned attack, an 18-year-old stormed a secondary school in the town of Emsdetten, injuring 37, some seriously, before he committed suicide.
In April 2002, 19-year-old Robert Steinhauser shot dead 16 people before killing himself at a school in Erfurt, eastern Germany.
Earlier this month, an 18-year-old gunman went on a shooting rampage in a school in Finland, killing seven of his fellow pupils, the head teacher and later himself." |
