German school shooting survivors pay tribute to US victims

Students and staff of the German high school where a teenager killed himself and 16 others in 2002 today paid tribute to the victims of the Virginia Tech shooting as they marked the fifth anniversary of their own tragedy.

Some 1,000 students, teachers and parents observed a moment of silence for those who died in 2002 at the Gutenberg high school, in the eastern city of Erfurt, as well as on April 16 in the US state of Virginia.
