Fifteen people have been killed by a teenage gunman who went on a rampage in south-west Germany, officials say.

Among the dead were nine pupils and three teachers at the Albertville secondary school in Winnenden, north of Stuttgart, police say.

The gunman, a 17-year-old former pupil, entered the school at about 0930 (0830 GMT) dressed in black combat gear and opened fire at random.

He fled in a stolen car, but was later killed in a shoot-out with police.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel described the shootings as "incomprehensible".

"It is unimaginable that in just seconds, pupils and teachers were killed - it is an appalling crime," she told reporters.

"This is a day of mourning for for the whole of Germany."

Officials earlier said a 10th pupil had died raising the death toll to 16, but this was later revised down to nine pupils.

'Trembling and crying'

Police said the suspect - named locally as Tim Kretschmer - was killed during a shoot-out with officers in the town of Wendlingen, about 40km (25 miles) away from the school.

He had fled there in a car he had hijacked after the school shooting - killing a passer-by as he made his escape, police said.

Spokeswoman Inka Buckmiller said the shoot-out took place at a car showroom, where two bystanders were killed and two police officers were injured.

"The suspect also died as a result of this shooting," she said.

Baden-Wuerttemburg state governor Guenther Oettinger said police killed the suspect, the Associated Press reported.

In total, 10 students, three teachers and three passers-by are thought to be among the dead.

One woman said her daughter had been in the school at the time of the shooting, and she was now at home "trembling and crying".

"She and her friend jumped out of the window. Her friend is now in hospital... We hope that she's all right," the woman said.

"What can I say? I don't understand the world any more."

'Heart-breaking'

Regional police chief Erwin Hetger said the teenager "went into the school with a weapon and carried out a bloodbath", according to the Associated Press.

"I've never seen anything like this in my life," he said.

Mr Hetger said informing the families of what had happened was a heart-breaking job.

"Our thoughts are concentrated on the parents. I have looked some of them in the eye, and it's damn hard to keep your composure," he said.

Local media reported that police had raided the youth's house and recovered 16 weapons.

The teenager's father, thought to be a prominent businessman in the area, was reported to be a member of a local shooting club.

Earlier, the chief reporter of the Stuttgart Journal newspaper, Kevin Latzel, told the BBC that there was a lot of confusion at the school.

"It's very horrible... the parents are crying, the pupils are crying and a lot of police is there and nobody knows really what happened," he said.

About 1,000 children are thought to attend the Albertville school, about 20km (12 miles) north-east of Stuttgart.

How German school shooting unfolded

The 17-year-old gunman walked into technical school Albertville-Realschule in Winnenden at 0930 local time (0830 GMT) on Wednesday.

Dressed in black, he started firing at random, killing nine students and three teachers.

At 0933, police received a emergency call and sent two response teams. They found the victims' bodies in two classrooms.

As the police arrived, the gunman fled. He passed a psychiatric clinic near the school and shot dead someone else.

The gunman headed towards the centre of Winnenden, where he is reported to have hijacked a car. Reports say he released the car's owner before continuing on his own.

Police mobilised 1,000 officers and helicopter teams to try to locate the gunman. The school was evacuated and roadblocks set up.

Local media broadcast warnings to drivers not to pick up hitchhikers.

The gunman drove 40km (25 miles) to the town of Wendlingen, where he barricaded himself in a supermarket. He killed two passersby before being fatally injured during a shoot-out with police at about 1300.

Two policemen are also reported to be have been injured.
