German police arrested a 16-year-old boy Wednesday after he allegedly wounded two 13-year-old girls at a high school in the Bavarian town of Schongau, located southwest of Munich.
Bavarian police said the suspect was found in possession of both a knife and a firearm when he was taken into custody. Investigators said it was not immediately clear exactly how he injured the two girls at Welfen high school.
Authorities stated that the suspect is believed to have acted alone, and that neither of the victims’ lives is considered to be in danger.
Bavaria’s state interior minister, Joachim Herrmann, told the German news agency dpa that the teenage suspect had previously received psychiatric treatment, though he did not elaborate on the details. Herrmann also noted that the suspect is a Croatian national who had been living with his parents in the area.
Schongau is a community of more than 12,000 residents situated to the southwest of Munich.
