A German teenager killed 15 people. Before this happened, this boy announced in a chatroom that he has weapons  and that he is going to kill people in his old school the next morning after the chat. The internet conversation happened 2:45 am on Wednesday which is 7 hours before the killing, according to Interior Minister Heribert Rech.

"You will hear about me tomorrow. Make note of the name of the place: Winnenden," 17-year-old Tim Kretschmer said.

The boy named Bernd who is also a 17-yr old boy was the one who had a chat with the Tim and so he showed the details of their chat to his father after the massacre. His father immediatedly contacted the police after seeing the chat.

"Shit, Bernd. I have had enough, I have had enough of this crummy life … Always the same. People are laughing at me, no one recognizes my potential," Rech cited the entry as saying. "I mean it seriously, Bernd."

Tim Kretschmer entered his old school in Winnenden at around 9:30 a.m. He was armed with a handgun taken from his father’s bedroom and more than 100 rounds of ammunition. He shot 8 girls, 1 boy, 3 female teachers and 3 bystanders. A few hours later Kretschmer was dead after a manhunt ended in a shootout in a shopping center car park .The gunman had recently stopped receiving psychiatric treatment, Rech said.

Our kids need our time and attention. Proper communication and relationship with them will help them get thru life’s ups and downs.
