Overview

  • A judge issued an arrest warrant Thursday evening for the 15-year-old suspect, ordering custody on suspicion of attempted murder in conjunction with dangerous bodily harm.
  • Police say the former pupil allegedly struck two 14-year-olds with a hammer before classes at Mittelschule Friedberg and was arrested shortly after in the nearby Tiefgarage Ost.
  • Investigators reported finding knives and non-permit airsoft weapons on the suspect, while motive and any link to the victims remain unconfirmed under inquiries led by Kriminalpolizei Augsburg and the Augsburg prosecutor’s office.
  • Both injured students are hospitalized with no life-threatening injuries, including one head wound, and authorities provided extensive medical, psychological and crisis support with a continued police presence around the school.
  • Officials corrected false reports by stating the suspect is a German citizen and the injured boys hold Iraqi and German‑Kosovar citizenships, and Bavarian public radio reported the suspect had issued threats about the school about two years ago.
