They said they could not rule out a link between the Finland shooting and the plot in Germany, both apparently inspired by the 1999 Columbine shooting in Colorado along with threats received at a vocational school in Göttingen was believed to have been linked to the first anniversary yesterday of an attack on a school in Emsdetten in which an 18-year-old injured 32 in a Columbine-inspired shooting spree before killing himself police in Cologne apparently foiled another plot by two students to launch a massacre in their school using crossbows which was also planned to coincide with the Emsdetten anniversary The police have come under criticism for sending the two students home after questioning The younger boy later committed suicide by throwing himself under a tram German police and education authorities have pointed to a worrying growth in copycat incidents as well as a sharp rise in the number of pupils sharing information on the internet and goading and inspiring each other into carrying out attacks The Finnish killer Pekka-Eric Auvinen was believed to have been in touch via the internet with a Pennsylvania teenager who had been planning a Columbine-style attack This week a British woman alerted police in Norway to a massacre threat against a school in Askoey near Bergen after seeing a suspicious video of on YouTube The Columbine massacre in Littleton, Colorado, in which two students killed 13 people before killing themselves, has served as a catalyst for a series of attacks across the United States and abroad, particularly in Germany. "The phenomenon of massacres by young people in schools in Germany has only existed since Columbine," said Frank Robertz, a Berlin criminologist and author of a book on violence in schools. The 18-year-old in the incident at Cologne's Georg Büchner school, who is now undergoing psychiatric treatment, had posted pictures of the Columbine massacre on his personal page on the school's internet site Schuelervz.net. Rolf B chose five photographs from the 1999 massacre and had told several fellow pupils: "On Tuesday there'll be a mighty explosion." A search of his home revealed a "death list" of 17 teachers and pupils whom he apparently planned to kill, before - he told police - he changed his mind. Both pupils had shared details of the plans in internet chatrooms. Germany's worst school massacre occurred in April 2002 when 19-year-old Robert Steinhäuser shot 12 teachers, a secretary, two pupils and a policeman at his school, the Gutenberg Gymnasium in Erfurt, before killing himself. The Erfurt massacre led to the introduction in some states of emergency plans to deal with shooting incidents. In many schools, pupils and teachers now routinely practise drills in which they are told a specific message over the public announcement system such as: "The canteen is closed." On hearing the message, they are supposed to go to their classrooms, draw the curtains and lock doors. Plans are also under way to set up an internet platform on which the public can give information about possible attacks. Klaus Jansen, head of the Association of Detectives, said that because of the frequency of incidents pupils were becoming more astute at recognising warning signs. "The sensitivities seem to be growing," he told a German newspaper. "Pupils seem to increasingly understand how important it is to let security authorities in on the picture."

FreshPublishers © 2005-2025 HortiDaily.com 19-year-old Robert Steinhäuser went on a shooting rampage a secretary and a policeman before turning the weapon on himself The event sent shock waves through the country and sparked widespread soul-searching on topics from teenage alienation and violent video games through mass media and gun control another school shooting took place in Emsdetten in northern Germany leaving 37 injured and the 18 year old gunman dead.Jens Hoffmann is a psychologist whose project at the Technical University of Darmstadt – ironically the German sister school of Virginia Tech University which saw its own horrific killing spree on April 16 -- developed an early detection method to identify those at risk for mass violence He teaches the method to law enforcement agencies what does your project and method do?Jens Hoffmann: After the school shooting in Erfurt in 2002 we began to wonder if anything could be done about it We found that in the United States there was already quite a lot of research on early warning signals about these attackers So we analyzed German cases and we found just about the same signals we developed instruments to analyze the communication of people who are estranged and the best way to intervene.Now we mostly offer two-day workshops for school psychologists and people working in schools and companies We teach them how to make risk assessments in their own organizations.Briefly what do you tell people to look out for?First something must have gone wrong for the attacker They are always very depressive and very angry Then they start to think about a violent solution for their problem They do something we call "leaking," giving direct or indirect signals like the plays the (Virginia Tech) attacker wrote before he attacked People were aware that he wrote very violent things "When can I do it?" They talk more in detail about it they come out with a statement that something big is going to happen "don't go to the high school on this day." So we have quite a lot of signals the more sure we can be that this person may see a violent attack as an answer to his problem.What should people do if they recognize a crisis People preparing for an attack like this might start giving away their possessions to friends; they engage in what we call "final act behavior." The school shooter last year in Emsdetten gave away his favorite gun to a friend Another late warning signal that shows a very high risk is that they might talk to friends or peers about attacks by other school shooters.So it is important that if you are worried about someone you have to ask the people around them if they have seen any of these signs and say they don't know how to go on.It often seems clear in retrospect that someone was on the brink In the United States there are very good programs We need more ‘threat managers' in schools and organizations who can recognize the risk signals They can say "there may be someone in crisis here." And if we understand that these people are in a crisis -- that's why they do these attacks because they are in crisis -- the earlier on they get help The first thing a threat manager should do is talk to the person that people are worried about And in most of the cases there is nothing behind it and everything is ok.So you teach prevention?Yes its very much about behavior-based prevention Not in the classical psychological way of looking at what are the people saying Its much more hands on: What do we need to look at in an organization what do people say or do that we should perhaps be worried about Very often people who are desperate are more dangerous than people who are saying ‘I'm going to kill someone.'It is a new way of dealing with the field of threat assessment and threat management We've learned a lot from our colleagues in the United States on this.Trying to raise flags about killing sprees is quite a gruesome topic How has your work been received in Germany We had to fund the programs with our own money But then there was Emsdetten and that lead to huge interest Nobody thinks this is actually going to happen where they live nobody believed our message: that there are always warning signals What would it take to make these detection methods widespread People just need to be taught about the risk models You need to train people to know what to look for – just one who could turn around and train the other people.The most important thing is that such a program be supported from the top the people have to have some time to make the effort because of the events at its partner school Virginia Tech the TU Darmstadt is putting this kind of training program into place.How big a role does the media play in causing events like Erfurt?The terrible thing is due to the fact of the media and the Internet mostly young men -- only 4 percent have been women -- to "be someone." They feel lost they feel people have behaved unfairly to them and they need some form of revenge to show that they are someone Almost every school shooter saw Columbine as some sort of blueprint and they identified with the Columbine killers And the newest terrible thing is to leave some sort of final message and they can fantasize before they are dead that afterward everyone will see them.The US made a horrible mistake when it published the videos of the Virginia school shooter Now there is a higher likelihood of a copycat crime.We tend to think of Erfurt-type school shootings as a modern phenomenon Yet I've seen references to killing sprees going back to the 1920s the earlier cases were people from outside who attacked the schools there were almost no school-shooter cases like those we know today you begin to have a terrible new dimension of this sort of crime We know from earlier psychological research that there is something called the "Werther Effect," named after the Goethe book (The Sorrows of Young Werther about a romantic character who shot himself in the head published in 1774 – eds.) Even back then there were a series of copycat suicides or they were found dead with the book next to them it probably dates back to the first printed books.But what is new is that in every room And the newest dimension is that you can make your final statement to the world Its amazing: The school shooter in Emsdetten gave a speech in English because he said "I want to know that the whole world hears my story."So yes we have a new dimension because of mass media and because of a long tradition that began 200 years earlier But there is a new quality to it.Why do you think schools are so often the focal point of these shootings Why not other public places -- restaurants or theaters?Schools These are organizations that have a big influence on other people If you have a problem in school or in court or your workplace… it has a huge influence on your life What you find especially with people who are very desperate who don't know how to cope with things and feel angry In fact a big aspect of prevention may be to focus on making sure people are dealt with fairly What we found in many of the incidents is that the shooters were (the shooter Robert) Steinhäuser had to leave school in the 12th grade And he was kicked out for quite a minor infraction the shooter was treated unfairly by his peers Making procedures to deal with these could be a big step toward toward prevention announced the following in a press release this afternoon:  the L&O Group (Lüke & Ortmeier Group) took over a majority shareholding of the German Sport Guns GmbH (GSG) Leading gun manufacturers Blaser Jagdwaffen and SIG SAUER are amongst the L&O Group shareholders an international industrial holding company and Michael Swoboda will continue to be responsible for GSG business operations as managing shareholders The L&O Group and GSG already have a long-term partnership; GSG in particular has been an important strategic supplier to SIG SAUER in the USA for many years GSG has developed excellently under the leadership of Mssrs Profits and turnover have continuously increased by large margins and the product range has continued to expand The L&O Group has secured supply in the mass manufacturing of the .22 calibre firearm from the majority takeover which has now occurred The objective is to continue to jointly develop the GSG business Considerable growth potential will be seen especially in the use of the L&O Group brand portfolios in particular with the brands "SIG SAUER," "Blaser," "Mauser," and J.P Sauer & Sohn."

Psychologists, epileptologists and neurologists from the University of Bonn studied the effect of shoot ’em up game images and other emotionally charged photos on the brain activity of heavy gamers. “Compared to people who abstain from first-person shooters, they show clear differences in how emotions are controlled,” reported lead author Dr. Christian Montag from the Institute of Psychology at the University of Bonn. Excessive first-person shooting of about 15 hours a week When the subjects regarded the real, negative pictures, there was greatly increased activity in their amygdalas. This region of the brain is strongly involved in processing negative emotions. “Surprisingly, the amygdalas in the subjects as well as in the control group were similarly stimulated,” reported Montag. “This shows that both groups responded to the photos with similarly strong emotions.” But the left medial frontal lobes were clearly less activated in the users of violent games than in the control subjects. This is the brain structure humans use to control their fear or aggression. Violent games as a cause for changes in brain activity? A study in fruit flies suggests that impaired glucose metabolism in glial cells contributes to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s. Enhancing glucose transport in these cells reduced inflammation and preserved neurons, highlighting a new potential angle for therapeutic intervention. In a study of young people with cannabis use disorder, N-acetylcysteine failed to outperform a placebo in reducing cannabis use, suggesting that the supplement may not be effective unless combined with more intensive behavioral interventions like contingency management. A new study finds that children raised in institutions show slower physical and brain development, especially if diagnosed with ADHD. Early placement into foster care helped, but delays remained—highlighting the lasting effects of early adversity on growth and mental health. What do anime faces, brain imaging, and curiosity games have in common? They’re all helping scientists uncover the hidden complexities of autism. A new study suggests chronic opioid use may interfere with the brain’s natural ability to respond to placebo antidepressants. Surprisingly, ketamine’s antidepressant effects remained intact—raising intriguing questions about how drugs, expectations, and mood-regulating systems interact. A surprising discovery in spider brains has led scientists to uncover a hidden waste removal system in the human brain. Its breakdown may explain the progressive neuron loss seen in Alzheimer’s disease, offering a new target for early intervention. A major genetic study suggests that mental illnesses may be partly driven by immune system activity. Researchers identified 29 immune-related proteins linked to conditions including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression, many of which could be treated using existing drugs.

Sign In Register YORKTON – A group of Yorkton athletes coaches and trainers traveled to Emsdetten Germany to compete at the One World Bowl April 5-7 Two Yorkton football players — Ty Strutynski and Liam Bewcyk —  with Coach Craig Czinkota and trainer Christine Knoll represented Team Canada by way of the Saskatchewan Selects a youth football development program based out of Moose Jaw "We (the Sask Selects) run from November to February each year and had players from under 10 to under 18 in the program This year we were invited to participate in the One World Bowl football tournament," told Coach Craig Czinkota to SASKTODAY.ca via e-mail "we took two a 14U and 16U age teams." Czinkota said it was likely past tournaments that saw the Selects get an invite to the 2024 event "The tournament organizer has invited us in prior years looking for a Canadian representative I’m sure they saw us play in San Antonio and saw we were a top notch organization," said Czinkota noting there were 47 players players total between the 14U and 16U teams "We had great support from all the parents with the logistics moving athletes half way around the world  Making this all possible is the Selects founder and Directors Zeljko and Deb Stefanovic Countless hours and effort goes into trying to pull something like this off," said Czinkota with both the 14U and 16U teams coming away from the tournament with the Division Championships.  "A clean sweep for team Sask/Canada," said Czinkota Czinkota noted that the tournament was a learning process as the rule set for games was that of US football so coming to Europe we were expecting well coached teams," said Czinkota "We have a great coaching staff that gets our teams ready to compete That experience is invaluable in preparing for something like this Germany has been involved in American rules football for over 30 years We were expecting tough competition and that's how we prepared," added Czinkota "I think we showed the coaches there — who were mainly Americans living abroad — that Saskatchewan and Canada are no joke when it comes to playing four down ball," said Czinkota smart and played the game the way it’s supposed to be Our team mantra this trip was 'Bring the Smoke' to bring the smoke means you are being challenged — to test your mettle." "You always tell your opponent 'nah bro you don’t want the smoke!,'  and that is what I told our players before we left Moose Jaw We were going to bring the smoke to show the world what we were about," said Czinkota Czinkota said the experience will have a positive impact "All of our athletes took away great memories and confidence in their football careers To say you went to Europe to beat the best they had to offer is potentially life changing," said Czinkota.  "For some of these players this is their first championship of any kind and to say it’s a World Championship that’s just surreal to think about at this time," said Czinkota Vernon's Shanda Hill is already known globally as one of the top ultra athletes in the world and for 2025 she is setting her sights on even more amazing feats of endurance Hill is the only person on the planet to have completed three double deca races A double deca is the equivalent of 10 Ironman triathlons Last year she completed the world's first triple deca race in Italy Hill is attempting to break the men’s world record by completing 51 Iron-distance triathlons in a single year organized by a seasoned triathlete and is an IUTA: International Ultra Triathlon Association recognized event She will then have a couple months to rest up before heading to Brazil for the 10x Continuous Ultra Triathlon May 1 to 16 Hill has made some changes in her personal life She announced in January on her Facebook page that she was “taking the leap to become a full-time Ultra Triathlete.” Hill was working as a landscaper when she was not setting world records in endurance racing To make her dream of being a full-time ultra athlete a reality A range of sponsorship packages are available For more information on Hill and to become a sponsor, visit her website.
