A 16-year-old suspect in Wednesday’s school attack in Schongau, Bavaria, remains in pre-trial detention after police confirmed he used a 3D-printed pistol and a knife to injure two 13-year-old girls at a local gymnasium. The victims, both in stable condition, were targeted as the suspect entered the school building, firing a single shot that failed before he switched to a blade. Authorities identified the teenager as a Croatian national already known to law enforcement for prior threats and glorification of school shootings on social media in 2025. Investigators are examining whether the firearm was manufactured using a 3D printer and obtained via the dark web, while digital forensics continue to probe the suspect’s online activity. Mitschüler reportedly intervened to protect one of the girls, preventing further harm. The case has prompted renewed debate over school safety and the accessibility of untraceable weapons in Germany .

In the Netherlands, a 37-year-old man with a history of mental health issues and prior run-ins with police has been charged with the fatal stabbing of a 59-year-old ABN Amro employee in Nieuw-Vennep. The victim, identified as Karin, was attacked in a train station parking lot on March 30 in what prosecutors describe as a random act. The suspect, Adil Q., was arrested the following day and is now facing manslaughter charges. Police records show he was previously detained for shoplifting in the same area just two weeks before the killing and had been involved in a violent incident in Amsterdam in December 2025. Investigators are reviewing digital evidence and have not yet established a clear motive. The case has drawn attention as it follows the unsolved murder of Karin’s colleague, Leonie, found dead in her Amsterdam bathtub on March 26. Leonie’s partner, Clen V., remains in custody in connection with that death .

In Hungary, an Irish national was sentenced to 14 years in prison without parole for the 2024 murder of an American tourist in Budapest. Mackenzie Michalski, 31, from Portland, Oregon, was strangled by the defendant, identified only as L.T.M., during an intimate encounter after meeting at a nightclub. The court ruled the killing was premeditated, and the defendant’s attempt to conceal the crime through disposal of the body in a wooded area further aggravated the sentence. The defendant, who claimed the death was accidental, will be deported upon release .

Meanwhile, in Romania, a court issued a six-month protection order against Tiberia Pușa Gyurca, sister of Anda Gyurca, who was killed by her partner Emil Gânj in Miheșu de Câmpie earlier this year. The order requires Gyurca to maintain a 50-meter distance from her partner and wear an electronic monitoring device, citing domestic violence allegations. Her lawyer disputes the claim, asserting she was the victim. The case has raised concerns over the enforcement of protection orders in domestic violence cases .

Across Europe, multiple violent incidents underscore ongoing challenges in public safety and judicial response. In Spain, a homeless man was arrested for fatally stabbing a young man outside a cemetery in Cubelles, while in Greece, authorities continue to investigate a political arson attack that killed a 72-year-old victim. In Finland, police are reviewing cases involving the killing of protected adders, highlighting tensions between wildlife conservation and public safety concerns .
