Parents of the alleged shooter charged - process for a fatal attack in Offenburger School

more and more, one hears of tragic incidents in schools that shake the community. The latest investigation in Offenburg not only affects the alleged shooter, but also his parents, who are now also charged. The public prosecutor accuses you of negligent killing and violations of the weapons law, since the pistol that her son used in school illegally came from their possession and was not sufficiently secured.

The trial against the son and his parents

The trial against the 15-year-old son about murder and attempted murder is coming to an end. Public opinion is curious to develop the developments in this tragic case, which occurred in a school in Offenburg last autumn. The young person is accused of having shot a classmate who later died of the injuries. It is reported that the weapon and ammunition came from the parents' household.

The indictment against the parents opens up a broad discussion about increasing violence in schools and which factors could contribute to this. Some see pandemic as a trigger, while others see responsibility for social media.

The large criminal chamber of the Offenburg Regional Court must now decide on how to proceed and whether a main procedure against the parents is opened. If you are convicted, you face imprisonment between six months and five years. However, the presumption of innocence applies until a final judgment is made.
