3D gun used in Halle shooting, experts urge that it serves as an eye opener
The creation of 3D printed guns by the neo-Nazi who launched a shooting attack in Germany must act as a warning to security services, experts have said.
Stephan Balliet only took one plastic weapon on the rampage that left two people dead in Halle but had manufactured several more, documents seen by The Independent reveal.
A downloaded folder contained three documents that were shared widely online in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, but there was also a photo of Balliet and more folders containing detailed instructions on how to make homemade weapons.
It contained numerous files that could be run through a 3D printer to make the same firearms, as well as ammunition.
ICSR research fellow Blyth Crawford said the possibility of other terrorists using 3D printed weapons “needs to be responded to” by authorities.
