Bomb threat in Innsbruck: school evacuated
More than 30 schools in Innsbruck received bomb threats by e-mail on Monday! All facilities have been evacuated. The police are investigating - some lessons were ended prematurely and pupils were sent home. At other schools, lessons continued after the all-clear was given. There were also threats in other federal states.
"We have received bomb threats against several schools," said police spokesman Stefan Eder in response to a Krone inquiry. The police were deployed and investigations are continuing in the background. In any case, the situation was taken very seriously. However, no concrete danger was assumed.
Some pupils were sent home
According to Eder, lessons were ended prematurely or at least interrupted in some schools as a precaution. According to "Krone" information, this included the Bundesrealgymnasium in der Au and schools near the Kettenbrücke. Several elementary school were also affected.
Within a very short time, all schools were evacuated and checked in an orderly fashion from 11.30 a.m. - safety always comes first.

The full extent became known in the afternoon! "We were alerted this morning by bomb threats that affected 33 schools in Innsbruck. Within a very short time, all schools were evacuated and checked in an orderly fashion from 11.30 a.m. - safety always comes first," explains Innsbruck's mayor Johannes Anzengruber.
The all-clear was given at around 12.15 pm. The schools were then reopened for lessons.
"I have to get out of the house now too"
In an email to parents obtained by the "Krone", the management of one school stated, among other things "The reason for this abrupt end to lessons is that we have received a bomb threat and of course we have to follow the instructions of the police and education directorate. I also have to leave the building now."
We are very glad that nothing worse has happened.

A primary school principal also informed parents by email: "May I inform you that everything is ok at our school. All the children are fine. We left the building at 11.30 and returned to school at 12.15. Afternoon lessons and after-school care will take place as usual."
Operations in several federal states
Schools in several federal states received bomb threats on Monday. In addition to Innsbruck, there were also operations in Vienna, Graz and Linz due to corresponding threats.
There had been a bomb alert in Innsbruck at the end of November. Threats were received by email against several "state and federal offices". The police searched all buildings, including the education directorate. In the end, the all-clear was given. There were also bomb threats in other federal states at the time.
