The 14-year-old succumbed to her injuries in a hospital on Monday, a police spokesman confirmed. The other girl, aged 13, was seriously injured. The alleged perpetrator is said to have fled to a neighboring apartment building after the attack. Officers arrested him and two other people.
The suspect attacked the girls around 7:30 a.m. on the street in a residential area, the spokesman said. He left it open how and where they were injured. Whether a weapon was involved initially remained just as unclear as the answer to the question of who had alerted the rescue services.
The officials wanted to question those arrested. The police initially did not say who it was. Whether the alleged perpetrator lives in the house to which he fled and whether he knows the other people is also part of the pending investigation. The same applies to a possible motive of the attacker. According to the police, the attack on the girls had no impact on a neighboring elementary school. “Contrary to rumours, there was no school shooting alarm,” said the spokesman.
Illerkirchberg is a municipality in the south of Ulm. It is in the Alb-Donau district and right on the border between Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. According to the latest information, almost 5,000 people lived here at the end of 2021.
