"An online warning which police say was posted by a German school killer was dismissed tonight as a crude internet fake.

German officials said today that Tim Kretschmer, 17, left a message on a chatroom early yesterday morning
in which he promised to shoot up his old school in Winnenden because "everyone is laughing at me".

According to the police account, Kretschmer left the message on the Krautchan.net site at 2.45am,
almost seven hours before the shooting spree, in which he killed 15 people before turning his gun on himself."
