Hundreds at Funeral for Stoning Victim

Hundreds attended the funeral of a German woman killed when three American teenagers allegedly hurled rocks from a highway bridge at the car she was driving. Darmstadt Mayor Peter Benz paid tribute to Sandra Ottmann, who died Sunday--two days before her 21st birthday. Edward B. O’Donnell, the U.S. consul general in Frankfurt, extended “condolences on behalf of the American people.” Several people who were riding with Ottmann were injured, her grandmother seriously. A 41-year-old woman in another car was also killed. German authorities have arrested three teenage sons of U.S. soldiers stationed in Germany on suspicion of murder and causing an accident with intent. Police said the three--ages 14, 17 and 18--admitted throwing rocks.
