After fleeing the school, the suspect ran into downtown Wmnenden, a town of 28.000, where he shot two people walkinl! by a psychiatric clinic, killing one and injuring the other, police said. The gunman then hijacked a cat and forced the driver to head south while threatening his life from the back seat, triggering a land and .air manhunt involving 700 police officers and four helicopters, according to Stuttgart prosecutors , who . are leadin~ the investigation: The driver swerved off the road to avoid a police checkpoint and managed to escape, while the suspect fled into an industrial area in the town of Wendlingen, about 24 miles (40 kilometers) from Winnenden. He entered a car dealership, whe.re he shot and killed his final victims - a salesman · and a man shopping for a car - and then went back outside, prosecutors said.

"He was lower than average, and he wasn't engaged events," in school Michelfelder said. A sister of the suspect's still attends the school. . After fleeing the school, the suspect ran into downtown Wmnenden, a town of 28.000, where he shot two people walkinl! by a psychiatric clinic, killing one and injuring the other, police said. The gunman then hijacked a cat and forced the driver to head south while threatening his life from the back seat, triggering a land and .air manhunt involving 700 police officers and four helicopters, according to Stuttgart prosecutors , who . are leadin~ the investigation: The driver swerved off the road to avoid a police checkpoint and managed to escape, while the suspect fled into an industrial area in the town of Wendlingen, about 24 miles (40 kilometers) from Winnenden. He entered a car dealership, whe.re he shot and killed his final victims - a salesman · and a man shopping for a car - and then went back outside, prosecutors said. He opened fire on police swarming the area.

Steinhaeuser, who had been expelled .for forging a doctor's note, was a gun club member licensed to own weapons. The attack led Germany to · raise the age for owning recreational firearms from 18 to 21. .German Chancellor Angel Merkel called the Wednesday shooting "a horrific crime ." "It is hard ~o put into words what happened today, but our sadness and sympathy goes out to the victims' families ," Merkel said: The European Parliament, meeting m Strasbourg.

(AP) - Aaron Cook struck out seven over five innings to outpitch AL Cy Young Award winner Cliff Lee, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Cleveland Indians 5-0 on Wednesday. Dan Ortmeier had three hits for the Rockies, who scored four runs off Lee in the first three innings. ' '.'1 was just trying to get my work in, probably just like Cliff, but I had a httle better result," said Cook, who gave up three hits without a walk. "I dido 't really care about results, but it felt good to do better than the last·time I was here.'' · . In three innings on March I against the Indians, Cook gave up seven hits and five runs - two earned. · "I'm a groundball pitcher, so all those strikeouts today probably won't happen durmg the season," CC)Ok said .. "It just happened. I was just trying to pitch to contact, which is my game." · Lee allowed five hits and three earned runs over three innings in his second spring training start. His throwing error gave Colorado an unearned run in the first. With runners breaking for second and third, Lee threw the ball down the left-field line. "We work on that every day, so if the manager says go do more work on it. I deserve it," Lee said. "I'm not happy about that throw. Otherwtse. I felt fine and not concern~ about giving up hits and runs. "I wanted to work on locating the fastball; so I kept throwing them. With guys on base in the regular season, no way I . keep pumping fastball after fastball like I did. But I'm here to get sharp and command the ' fastball first. Then everything follows. That's the key to pitching." That's the philosophy Lee· has followed throughout his .career.. It paid off in 2008 when he went 22-3 with a 2.54 ERA. ''I'm not any different this year," the left-bander said. "When you throw I 00 pitches a game, there's always something to work on. I'm always doing something - oothing new, but repetition.
