Hans Wendt alerted me to yet another school shooting, this
one in Winnenden, Germany.
From Yahoo! News:
A 17-year-old wielding a Beretta 9
mm pistol burst into classrooms at his former high school
Wednesday and gunned down students -- some of whom died
with their pencils still in hand -- in a rampage that
ended with 15 dead before he took his own life, authorities
said.
Police said the suspect was a German teen who was a
below-average student at the school of about 1,000 pupils,
but managed to graduate last year.
Police received an emergency call from the school at 9:33
a.m.
They stormed the school, but the gunman fled, killing two
more teachers, then two men at a car dealership, before killing
himself.
The GCP event was set for an hour before to 4 hours after
the shootings began, 07:30 to 12:30 GMT. The result is
Chisquare 17926.985 on 18000 df, for p = 0.649 and Z =
-0.382.
It is important to keep in mind that we have only a tiny
statistical
effect, so that it is always hard to distinguish signal from
noise. This means that every "success" might be largely
driven by chance, and every "null" might include a real
signal overwhelmed by noise. In the long run, a real effect
can
be identified only by patiently accumulating replications of
similar analyses.
