A file picture taken on 30 March 2009 shows employees of an explosives removal squad who melt weapons into an oven in Sindelfingen, Germany. Weapons that were turned in, also subsequent to a call after the amok shooting in Winnenden and Wendlingen, were destroyed by the squad. The event takes place regularly. Since the amok shootings in March 2009, 120 000 weapons were turned in out of free will in Germany. Photo: Marijan Murat
