The death toll in a shooting spree that started at a school in southern Germany has reached 17, including the gunman, say police.

The shooter killed nine students and three teachers at the school in Winnenden, near Stuttgart, then another person at a nearby clinic before escaping.

Then in a shoot-out with police, two passers-by were killed and two policemen seriously injured, bringing the total death toll to 16, including the gunman, said police.

Witnesses saw a man dressed in black army fatigues spraying bullets around him at random in the Albertville technical high school.

Students jumped from the windows of the building as 17-year-old former pupil at the school opened fire.

"He went into the school with a weapon and carried out a bloodbath," regional police chief Erwin Hetger said.

"I've never seen anything like this in my life."

The editor of local newspaper Winnenden Zeitung said the gunman left the school two years ago with a degree.

Speaking to Sky News, Frank Nipkau described how the teenager, dressed in black army fatigues, entered the school around 9.30am and approached two classrooms.

"He was shooting at the students in two classrooms."

Mr Nipkau said the man then fled into the city centre before police arrived at the school.

Stuttgart Radio's Philipp Grohm told the news channel the shooter had used a machine gun.

"We have to assume a death toll in the double-digits," the interior ministry in the state of Baden Wuerttemberg said.

A spokeswoman added: "These are students."

Hundreds of officers scoured the city for him, using helicopters and search dogs.

""For two hours the city centre was completely under curfew," Mr Nipkau told Sky News, "Hundreds of police were searching for him."

He added: "This is an idyllic town with no big problems and nobody understands why this has happened. We don't know why he did this."

About 1,000 children attend the school in a suburb 12 miles outside Stuttgart.

Not the first time this happens in Europe.
