A black BMW drove past an Obertyrian Vocational School last March. Suddenly the car brakes abruptly. A weapon appears at the rear window. A shot falls. Best traumatized students who feared for their lives continue to exist. The perpetrators – a few brothers and a friend – were tried in Leoben on Tuesday.
“How did you really get your weapons?” Judge Sabine Anzenberger wants to know about the youngest suspect. It is at least largely known. “We were with the arms dealer,” says the 17-year-old. One of the brothers wanted a real weapon. But when the dealer said he needed a weapon permit, it would have been decided to have two shock guns and a folding knife. “And a box with 50 shots.”
Weapons to scare others
“And why do you need weapons?” The judge continues to decrease in the trial in Styria. “Maybe you can scare others.” – “Have you all fallen upside down?” The chair rumbles. “Especially with everything that is going on at the moment!”
The 17-year-old held the big gun, the little one was for the 18-year-old. The 20-year-old decided the knife “because it seemed casually.” On the same day around 7 p.m. the trio drove around the city with the black 5-series BMW of the 18-year-old, then to the vocational school. “Shoot quickly, shoot quickly,” the brothers would have shouted against their boyfriend from childhood. “They became louder and louder, I didn’t know what to do. So I shot.” – “About the students?” The judge asks. “No, in the air.”
“I let myself be convinced”
“Why did you need a gun?” Anzenberger asks the auto duration program. “I didn’t need it,” the 18-year-old explains. I let him convince me (the 17-year-old, note). I was so stupid. ” -” So they didn’t want a weapon. But the suspect with two people convinced them and went to the bank to give them the money for buying weapons, even if they didn’t want to. ” -” Exactly, and after we already had it, we also drove. “But only in a field where nobody was and in a closed hardware store.
They only drove to the vocational school to see if there are acquaintances. That’s why they walked slower for the school. “But suddenly it opens the window and shoots out. I got on the gas because it was my car, everyone could see the license plate.”
Shot from the car several times
During the trip, the 17-year-old is said to have been shot out of the car five to six times in various places in the Murtal. He thought it was horny, they tell the brothers. “Why didn’t you leave him away when you felt uncomfortable?” The judge wants to know. “That was the mistake. But we thought he would be held responsible for it.”
When the trio wanted to turn around in a parking lot of a supermarket, the police were suddenly there. “They had pulled the weapons and said we had to get out.” Anzenberger: “You are lucky that you were not shot when you shoot so stupid with weapons. The police don’t know if they are real or not.”
Life is no longer the way it was
Witnesses describe their fear of death in court. “I broke up and feared for my life,” says a professional student. “I was very scared. Today I still have a strange feeling when I see a dark BMW,” says another. “Her life is no longer the way it was?” She nods in compassionate. “No, it isn’t,” the young woman shakes her head. “Who does this. I’ll not forget that all my life.”
Even with a knife, the boys would have threatened the students out of the window. “No, it’s not true,” says the 20-year-old. “I only played with it in the car. Nobody kept the knife outside.”
“Young people do stupid things,” emphasizes lawyer Sascha Flatz in his last plea. “They just wanted to play in the forest.” His customers (the two brothers, comment) could not help the 17-year-old suddenly the funny idea to shoot the window.
“Nonsense of the special class”
“I am convinced that it was a planned action. You drive around, shoot out, laugh around it. Absolutely crazy, a nonsense of the special class, we don’t have to discuss,” explains the judge from the verdict. “But I give you a chance when you come back, it’s over.”
The verdict: four or six months due to prison sentence (with a fine of 18 months or three years) plus probationary period. After short breath, all three accept the judgment. It is therefore legally binding because the public prosecutor also refrains from professions.
