昨天的新闻说，犯罪嫌疑人的尸体被警方发现了。多余的氰化钾由火警（？）归还学校。事情就此平息了。小城向来无大事，这次事件算是恶性事件了。昨天舒马赫特意群发了一封邮件给我们，用英语解释到底发生了什么，以免我们由于语言不同而使得谣言更加四起。老马真是体贴啊！今天上课霍夫曼也向我们讲了事件的经过结局，叫我们不要害怕。所以就没什么可怕的了。

老马的邮件现全文刊登如下：

Dear students,
I am sure that most of you observed the heavy police activity at the
University East yesterday.

As I am not sure if all of you read the local newspapers, and to prevent the
spread of rumors, let me give you some information on the incident.

Yesterday morning, a young man who had studied chemistry here for one
semester, went into the chemistry department and demanded potassium cyanide
at gun point. It later became evident that this robbery apparently is linked
to a triple murder in Erbach (south of Ulm) committed earlier, during the
night.

The where-abouts of the former student were unclear and it was suspected that
he may still be in the university building. Because he was armed,
additionally carrying a substantial amount of a toxic substance, and is the
major suspect in the shooting deaths in Erbach, police had to seal off the
building and conduct a room-to-room search which was completed only at 21.45
last night. The young man so far has not been found. Apparently, he left a
suicide note where he admitted the killings of his grandmother and his
parents.

The name of the suspect has been released by the police. It is Frederik Haase,
he is 20 years old and of Korean decent on his mother’s side. Police of
course asks for any information which may lead to his arrest, but also
suggests caution because Frederik Haase is believed to be armed with a 7.65
mm pistol.

I personally believe there is no immediate danger to anyone at the university,
because this is, in the first place, a grave tragedy within one family, and
because it is not very likely that he is still on campus. Still, you may see
increased police activity today especially in the forest around the
university.

If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to send me a mail or
call me.

Best regards,
Hermann Schumacher
