According to New York's Daily News, the 15-year-old accused of shooting a classmate at a suburban Baltimore high school on the first day of school was "obsessed" with the German industrial metal band RAMMSTEIN.

Bobby Gladden was arrested Monday (August 27) after allegedly opening fire in the lunchroom at Perry Hall High School. Police say he critically injured a classmate, Daniel Borowy, before a school guidance counselor tackled Gladden and took the gun away.

Gladden, who went by his nickname as "SuicidalSmile" on Facebook, posted the following status update the morning of the shooting: "First day of school, last day of my life. ... fuck the world."

Gladden described himself as a "metalhead" and a fan of MARILYN MANSON and SLIPKNOT, and had picture of RAMMSTEIN frontman Till Lindemann as his Facebook "cover photo."
