After an attack on two schoolgirls in Illerkirchberg near Ulm, one of them died.
The 14-year-old succumbed to her injuries, a police spokesman said.
The other girl, aged 13, was seriously injured.
Both were taken to hospital after the attack.
A man attacked the girls around 7:30 a.m. on the street in a residential area, the spokesman said.
He left it open how and where they were injured.
Whether a weapon was involved is just as unclear as the answer to the question of who had alerted the rescue services.
The alleged perpetrator is said to have fled to a neighboring apartment building after the attack.
Officers arrested him and two other people.
The mission is complete.
A special task force supported this, the spokesman said.
There is no danger to the population.
