Pieter, there are too many casualties of this war and we don't even know, since this was is a new norm for this region. Living under the constant pressure has its toll - which is showed by the shooting with student gunman killing 19 and then killing himself.

Jaga,

Unfortunately I have to say that this happened in Crimia, now part of the Russian Federation, but it could have happened in Ukraine, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Germany, Austria, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, England (UK), the USA and South-Africa too.
A combination of extremely violent computer games, the most horrible war, civil war and terrorist video's on youtube or other sources on internet and extremist messages of radical movements, plus access to weapons make some young instabile boys and men crazy and act in rage, testosterone, with some mental intability, extreme pubertal or adolescent hormonal states of mind and physical state of being.

Some have a sort of rage period in their pubertal and adolescent age and start extreme sporting, become part of hard core skating groups, lose themselves in sexual behavior, listen to extreme music and drive fast on motor bikes or cars. Crazy in their head, Adhd, borderline, pyschotic, or just being indoctrinated, toxicated, dragged into extreme thought, radical ideologies and causes like extreme right, Islamist or extreme left messages and movements, who tell these folks to take drastic measures and engage in extreme actions from suicide bombing to attacks with rifles, guns and bombs like this killer in Crimea.

This case looks like the the 1999 Columbine High School massacre by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.

Eric David Harris (April 9, 1981 – April 20, 1999) and Dylan Bennet Klebold (/ˈkliːboʊld/; September 11, 1981 – April 20, 1999) were two American mass murderers who killed 13 people and wounded 24 others armed with firearms and knives on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School in Columbine, Colorado. They were twelfth grade (senior) students at the high school. The shooting rampage came to be known as the Columbine High School massacre. Harris and Klebold committed suicide in the library, where they had killed 10 of their victims.

This was from their "Hitmen for Hire" skit that they did for a school project IIRC in 1998, one year before the the Columbine High School massacre .







Cheers,

Alphen aan den Rijn shopping mall shooting






The murderer Tristan van der Vlis

On 9 April 2011, six people were killed by a gunman who entered the Ridderhof mall in Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands, a town approximately 33 kilometres (21 mi) south-west of Amsterdam. Using a rifle, 24-year-old Tristan van der Vlis shot several people and then killed himself, reportedly with a different firearm. There were seven deaths, including the killer, and 17 wounded, making it the deadliest assault attack in the Netherlands since the 2009 attack on the Dutch Royal Family.

Pieter, thanks for finding a realy relevant video. I could hear a real emotion in the girl witness account. So many innocent lives were lost by this 18-years old innocent looking boy.
I wonder whether the war pressure did not make this community worse and this boy just to lose it.
