The psychiatric report should be available soon.
Wuppertal - After the shooting that left eight people injured in Wuppertal, the suspected 17-year-old student remains hospitalized.
The teenager, against whom an arrest warrant was issued for attempted murder, was scheduled to undergo a psychiatric examination at the weekend, the public prosecutor's office said.
“However, a result will probably not be available before Tuesday,” said prosecutor Patrick Penders.
The 17-year-old high school student is being guarded in the hospital by prison guards.
According to investigators, there is evidence of mental illness in the young person.
Four students were stabbed at the high school in Wuppertal on Thursday.
The suspected student is said to have suddenly attacked his classmates in a high school break room that morning with a folding knife with a blade up to eight centimeters long.
Three students suffered shock.
The 17-year-old is said to have injured himself with a knife.
Details about the course of the crime
A teacher became aware of what was happening through loud shouts.
He was able to calm and disarm the 17-year-old.
The student put down the knife after the teacher asked, the prosecutor reported.
The high school had triggered a shooting alarm.
Heavily armed emergency services cordoned off and searched the school near Wuppertal main train station.
The building had been evacuated.
614 students and 25 teachers were looked after.
The police consider the knife attack to be an act of amok.
A Düsseldorf police homicide squad is investigating the case.
The public prosecutor's office announced at the weekend that witnesses are currently being questioned and evidence is being evaluated as part of the investigation.
Among other things, numerous people need to be heard.
16 students and one teacher are considered witnesses.
There are 98 students in the grade that the 17-year-old also attended.
The perpetrator is not yet known to the police
The Wuppertal district court issued an arrest warrant against the German-Turkish high school student for two counts of attempted murder and two counts of grievous bodily harm.
Investigators have currently ruled out any political or religious motivation.
The 17-year-old, who was born in Wuppertal, had not yet appeared to the police.
