On Tuesday, 5 April 1994, 35-year-old Flemming Nielsen of Silkeborg shot four female students, killing two of them, at Aarhus University in Denmark. Nielsen had been a student at the university since 1986. He opened fire with a sawed-off shotgun in a university cafeteria where he killed his first victim, 24-year-old Birgit Bohn Wolfsen. The remaining students in the room managed to escape. Nielsen proceeded into another cafeteria and opened fire again, killing his second victim, 27-year-old Randi Thode Kristensen. Another two people were wounded but survived.[1][2]

Flemming Nielsen then retreated to a basement bathroom stall where he committed suicide via gunshot wound. The autopsy revealed that he had taken Fontex before the incident, and police found a suicide note at his home, stating how he "could not handle life anymore", and that he wanted to kill some people before ending his own life.[1][3][4] It remains the only school shooting that has occurred in Denmark.[5]
