ERFURT, Germany --Police have praised the bravery of a teacher who risked death to confront massacre student Robert Steinhauser and end his gun rampage.

The [history and art] teacher, Rainer Heise, told Germany's ZDF television that after he had already killed 16 people, he had grabbed the youth's shirt and tried to talk to him.

"He then pulled off his mask and I said 'Robert?'," Heise said, calling it a Ninja-style mask.

"I said go ahead and shoot me, but look me in the face." Steinhauser replied: "That's it for today," and briefly let down his guard, Heise said.

"I pushed him into the room and locked the door."

Steinhauser, who held a grudge because he had been expelled from the Johann Gutenberg school at Erfurt, eastern Germany, shot himself shortly afterwards. ...
