A 19-year-old went on the rampage in his school in Germany, lobbing Molotov cocktails[The Molotov cocktail, also known as the petrol bomb, gasoline bomb, or Molotov bomb, or simply Molotov] and injuring 10 people, authorities said.
Six months almost to the day after 17-year-old Tim Kretschmer massacred 15 people in and near the town of Winnenden, the attacker injured both fellow pupils and teachers, authorities in Ansbach near Nuremberg said.
Media reports said that shots had been heard and that more than one attacker was involved, breaking into the building with an axe, but police were unable to confirm this.
'The attacker has been arrested, is injured and is on the way to hospital,' a spokesman for Nuremberg police, Peter Grimm, told rolling news channel N24. 'The whole school has been cleared. There is no sign of a second attacker.'
The incident took place at a secondary school of 600-700 pupils.
