Timeline of the Emsdetten School Shooting
9:20am – 18-year-old Bastian Bosse leaves his car in the “immediate vicinity” of the Geschwister Scholl-Schule (GSS). Before driving to the school, he posted a zip file of his manifesto to the WeKillEmAll forums, as well as wrote in his diary: "That's it!".
He enters the school grounds and begins firing indiscriminately at oncoming students and teachers.
A teacher is wounded in the face by a smoke bomb thrown at her
Three students are injured by gunfire
A 55-year-old caretaker is shot in the stomach with a sawed-off Burgo .22 bolt action rifle
Bastian encounters his younger brother during the shooting. His brother asks him “What are you doing” to which Bastian moves on into the school.
After entering the school through the main entrance, Bastian shot a group of students, injuring one by gunfire. He also injures two 10 and 12-year-old students on the first floor of the building.
9:30am – Police are first notified of the shooting via an emergency call and immediately make their way to the school.
Teachers and staff had already started evacuating students from the building, with over a dozen students, both from the GSS and neighbouring school calling the police to report the incident.
9:34am – Police first arrive to the school and find the injured caretaker at the main entrance. They then move towards Bastian, who has moved onto the second floor of the building. As Bastian had set off numerous smoke bombs during the shooting, entry into the school is difficult.
Bastian then retreats into a classroom where he sets off a molotov cocktail, before shooting himself in the head with a sawed-off Ardesa percussion rifle.
9:58am – The first special operations command force arrive at the school, with them immediately attempting to enter the school
10:36am – The special command force manages to enter the second floor of the building that was heavily obscured by smoke. They find Bastian’s body, alongside the aforementioned percussion and bolt action rifles, an Ardesa caplock pistol and numerous self-made pipe bombs. Other explosive devices were also found around Bastian’s body.
Emergency services wait for a bomb defusal unit to arrive before approaching further as it was initially unclear if Bastian had shot himself or had been killed by detonating one of the bombs that was attached to his body due to the extensive damage to his face from the gunshot.
10:43am – Police find further explosive devices within the school, all of which were self-made pipe bombs. The neighbouring school is then searched as a result.
5:00pm – A bomb defusal unit arrived at the school, where they search Bastian’s car, as well as four residential buildings and the classroom which Bastian was found. Bastian’s body is then removed from the building by the defusal unit.
A later search of Bastian’s house and garage found further evidence of Bastian making and creating bombs to use in the shooting.
In total, 37 people were injured during the shooting, with Bastian being the only fatality:
6 were injured by gunfire
1 teacher was injured by a smoke grenade
16 police officers suffered smoke inhalation
An unknown amount of people were treated at the scene by an emergency tent set up by the fire department. 62 people were also noted as being cared for as a part of police care procedures, including Bastian's family.
