Why It Matters
The police investigated a high school in Langwedel after a shooting alarm that turned out to be a technical error.
The police and numerous officers searched a high school in Langwedel (Verden district). “The reason for the alarm was an amok alarm that was triggered,” said a police spokesman. Finally, the emergency services were able to give the all-clear: “No indications of an amok or threatening situation could be found. At no time was there any danger to anyone in the school or on the school grounds.”
To be on the safe side, a large number of firefighters and rescue workers were also on site. Parents were able to meet not far from the school and were looked after and informed there. After completing the mission, they were able to take their children home with them. According to police, the class ended early.
The investigators assume that a technical defect triggered the alarm. “An intentional triggering of the alarm or manipulation of the system can currently be ruled out,” the police said.
