The shooting took place at the restaurant owned by the Schurr family and all the victims gathered there post the funeral of Adam's grandmother.&nbsp;

The killer immediately informed the police officials and surrendered himself.&nbsp;

A psychiatric report found that Adam suffered from mental illness and delusions.&nbsp;

Adam accused her mother of abusing him and trying to poison him, but no evidence was found to substantiate his claims.&nbsp;

During the hearing, Adam told the court that he had carefully conspired the shooting, including by joining a gun club to acquire a gun legally, news agency dpa reported. He later regretted his actions.&nbsp;

Owning firearms is legal in Germany as most guns can be bought only with a license and are closely monitored, which makes mass shootings a rarity.&nbsp;
