The father of a German teenager who went on a shooting spree in March, killing 15 people, has been charged with manslaughter.
Tim Kretschmer, 17, took his father’s pistol and burst into his former school in Winnenden, near Stuttgart, opening fire, before killing himself.
His father has now been charged with 15 counts of manslaughter for failing to keep his gun secure.
Prosecutors said he had “negligently” stored weapons and bullets.
Kretschmer used his father’s legally-registered pistol to kill eight schoolgirls, a schoolboy and three teachers at Albertville secondary school on 11 March.
