Bielefeld (dpa / lnw) – According to a newspaper report, the man who is said to have fired shots at a vocational college in Bielefeld was in the focus of the authorities months before the crime. The 20-year-old had previously announced crimes on the Internet, as North Rhine-Westphalian Interior Minister Herbert Reul (CDU) told the “Neue Westfälische” (Thursday edition).
In addition, the suspect was recorded as a test case in the concept for the early detection of persons with risk potential. In this context, there was also a threat speech. However, the authorities involved considered the previously mentally disturbed man to be sufficiently stabilized.
The 20-year-old, who is now in a closed psychiatric ward, is said to have planned a killing spree at the school at the end of June and shot the door of the staff room with a blank gun. In a video he had announced his project on the Internet. During a search of the building, the police discovered Molotov cocktails, a dagger, a knife and two pistols
