School shootings with multiple victims killed happened in Germany multiple times over the past decades.

Going by the past responses of most politicians. they will always scramble to find some easy thing to put the blame on. Metal music, video games, social media... Anything but address the question of adequate social and psychological infrastructure for students.

The influence form the US is spreading. Adding an age limit to social media will probably be the response instead of improving education (especially digital), mental health options, and deradicalisation efforts.
