[QUOTE=Pete;254207]Link to a BBC story on the school shooting near Stuttgart.

Something like that's always a shock when it hits the airwaves. They had another incident just like that one in Erfurt, Germany in '02. Not to be cynical but when something like that happens in the U.S. it's not so much a suprise when you consider the amount of firearms that are here and that are so easily accessible. It's a little harder to own firearms in Europe but all it takes for a disaster like this one is a weapon and a defective mind. Guess it can happen anywhere. This story touched me a little because I've lived in both Stuttgart and Erfurt.
