It so happens that Stuttgart suffered firearms violence too. CBS followed its Alabama coverage with Richard Roth narrating German videotape from London. Tim Kretschmer, a 17-year-old, returned to his former high school armed with his father's sporting pistol and killed nine students and three teachers. The teenager himself died in an automobile showroom after hijacking a car and being chased by police, Roth reported. "School officials and former classmates called Kretschmer absolutely average, a mediocre student who was training to be a salesman." NBC had Robert Moore of ITN, its British newsgathering partner, file a brief stand-up from the crime scene. Moore repeated a "poignant detail" recounted by local police: many of the dead students were "still clutching their pencils" where they fell.
