A bad joke or a serious threat? No: A false alarm, as it turned out in the afternoon!
Breathe in relief after the end of the mission around 3 pm “There were no injuries or violence. Nothing that can be associated with a riot, ”said a police spokesman.
At 10 in the morning the situation was even more confusing: the crazy alarm went off. Students and teachers who had just returned to classes and the building after the court break had to lock themselves in classrooms. “Please barricade your doors,” it was said over and over again in a loudspeaker announcement.
And so? Quiet. Nothing happened. More than one hour. Fear and tremors at school. The students crouched on the ground under the window sills. A potential shooter should have no goals.
The police were stationed around the building with 80 officers, including men from the Special Operations Command (SEK). The fire department was also on the scene with 25 paramedics and emergency medics. The police blocked the streets around the school.
The heavily armed officers then combed the school room by room. The hours passed again. Concerned parents gathered outside the middle of the high school: “My son Faton wrote me that there was a crazy alarm and that he was locked in the room. Of course you worry! “Said his father Norzim Kelmeni.
Finally the redeeming news came: the students were able to gradually leave the building.
