The Zug massacre took place on September 27, 2001 in the city of Zug (Canton of Zug, Switzerland) in the canton's parliament. Fourteen people were shot dead by Friedrich Leibacher, who killed himself shortly after the crime. In the years before the massacre, Leibacher drew attention to himself by an intense use of lawsuits. These were dismissed, so he assumed he was being persecuted by the state, thus he felt he had to resort to the crime. He was armed with a civilian version of a Stgw 90 (Swiss Army assault rifle),〔(Switzerland Feels Chill of Insecurity After Shooting )〕 a SIG Sauer pistol, a pump-action shotgun, and a revolver, and he wore a home-made police vest. Leibacher was able to enter the parliament building without problem.〔 ==Attack== He started shooting in the hall where the members of parliament were meeting. He killed three members of the Executive Council ("Regierungsräte") and eleven members of the legislature ("Kantonsräte"), and wounded 18 politicians and journalists, some heavily. He fired 91 rounds. Then, he ignited a homemade bomb, and then took his own life.〔 His main intended target was the Cantonal Minister Robert Bisig, who was unharmed. Leibacher left a suicide note titled "Tag des Zornes für die Zuger Mafia" ("Day of wrath for the Zug mafia"), which referenced his belief there was a plot against him.〔(Untersuchungsrichterlicher Schlußbericht ) (German)〕 This assault was the first of its type in Switzerland and one of the Canton of Zug's darkest days.〔(The Zug Attack: It Can Happen Here )〕 Worldwide, especially in the European Union and in the German Bundestag, there was shock at the attack. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zug massacre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
