Ok n24 have your read what he did?
"ANSBACH, Germany — An 18-year-old armed with an ax, knives and Molotov cocktails attacked his high school in southern Germany on Thursday, injuring eight pupils and a teacher before police shot and arrested him, authorities said.
He climbed to the third floor, where he lit a Molotov cocktail and threw it into an 11th grade classroom, apparently striking a girl in the head and burning several other people, authorities said.
He then attacked some nearby girls with the ax, inflicting serious skull wounds on one of them, said Udo Dreher, the top police officer at the scene.
"The attacker was armed with an ax, several knives and another Molotov cocktail," said Dreher. "As he moved toward the officers, they opened fire and then arrested him."
About 700 other pupils were able to evacuate the building, taking shelter in a nearby unemployment office where they were being treated by psychologists and counselors, officials said."
I think this is the exact reason why the policie should bear firearms, whether they had to should shoot him in the legs or not.
