For the third time in three weeks, a school in Linz had to be evacuated - this time it affected 700 pupils and teachers at Ramsauergymnasium. After five hours, the all-clear was given without any suspicious objects being found. Now there is a suspicion as to where the perpetrator or perpetrators may have drawn their inspiration from.

It is a particularly grueling repetition: on Tuesday shortly after 10 a.m., the provincial police headquarters in Linz received an e-mail threatening an attack against a school in Linz. This time it was the Ramsauergymnasium in the Bindermichl district. 700 pupils and teachers had to flee the building.
