WikiProject Crime To-do: edit  Here are some tasks you can do to help with WikiProject Criminal Biography: Requests: Magdalena Solis, Justina Morley, Impersonating an officer, List of major crimes in the United States, Shanghai Kelly, Tucker Prison Farm, Kendall Francois, Purgatory Correctional Facility Expand: Credit card fraud, Theresa Knorr, Marybeth Tinning, Brenda Ann Spencer, Lords of Chaos (self-styled teen militia), Stubs: Calling card (crime), Federal crime, Leslie Irvin (serial killer), Violent crime, Crime Classification Manual, Anthony Sawoniuk Perfect crime Images: Charles Ray Hatcher, Thor Nis Christiansen, Richard Cottingham, Caleb Fairley

"Coincendently, the Gutenburg-Gymnasium shares an exchange program with Bowling Green High School in Kentucky, which is located near Heath High School, where Michael Carneal killed 3 and wounded 5 people four years prior[1]."

"Another coincidence is that the massacre occured six days after the third anniversery of the Columbine High School massacre. "

How are either one of those items coincidences? There is nothing directly relating this incident with any of the others.

Agreed, this is non-encyclopedic, and trivia sections should be avoided in any case. I removed the coincidences, and merges some of the other content into the Shooting section.--Stijn Vermeeren 13:48, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CS

if you read the entry on this topic in the german Wikipedia, it says there that although he was found of violent games, explicity mentiont Half-Life, it is also said he was not very interested in Counter Strike. But as CS is quite infamous now to the general public, when talking about violent games and such massakers, people mostly link games with violent content directly towards CS. There is no indication, that Steinhäuser was especially found of CS or used it to train for his spree.

• The official report (http://www.thueringer-allgemeine.de/ta/ta_media/ta.KomGut.pdf) explicitly denies that Steinhäuser regularly played CS, but confirms he was a fan of violent movies and (other) violent games. There is also no reliable source on him being a Slipknot fan, this seems to be an incorrect myth started by the tabloid The Sun (see de:Slipknot#Kontroversen_um_Slipknot). So I did some corrections in the article. --Stijn Vermeeren 14:27, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge?

This article seems to say not a lot more than is already said in the Erfurt massacre article. Shouldn't they be merged? Kncyu38 21:10, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
