Threatening letter by email
Bomb threat: school closed before school starts
Alarm at an elementary school in the Wagram district of St. Pölten: The police received a threatening letter by email early on Friday morning. The school was cordoned off on a large scale.
A bomb threat ended the start of the school day for the children in the St. Pölten district of Wagram before it had even begun. Since the early hours of the morning, not only the police have been on alert. Special forces are currently searching the school building for explosive devices. A large contingent of emergency services is on site and the school building has been cordoned off.
Parents notified
In the early hours of the morning, the police received a bomb threat by email. The school management was notified in no time at all, who quickly alerted parents via Schoolfox not to bring their children to school as usual on Friday morning.
Switch to homeschooling
Only a few teachers were to be found outside the school building shortly before the bell rang. The kindergarten directly behind the elementary school was also put on alert. The school switched to homeschooling on Friday; those children who cannot stay at home are being looked after by teachers in a safe place.
Investigations are in full swing and the State Office for State Protection and Counter-Extremism (LSE) is also on site. The all-clear was given in the late morning: no explosives were found during the search of the building. According to the state police directorate, no further threats have been received so far.
Whether there is a possible connection to the recent bomb threats - a Swiss man kept the whole of Austria in suspense for days with his threatening letters - is currently being investigated.
