LIPSIA – Ceased alarm in schools in Leipzig after massacre threats received by email from various institutions. This was announced by the Leipzig police via Twitter, specifying that no evidence of “serious and real danger” was found, even though security measures were raised. Other educational institutions in Germany had also received threatening emails, but in no case has a dangerous situation been found to date.

According to Radio Dresden, which cites police sources, the threats were sent to the Reclam-Gymnasium, the Kant-Gymnasium, the Thomas-Gymnasium, the Schillergymnasium, the Neue Nikolaischule, in the Stötteritz district of Lispia, where the students would be barricaded in the classrooms.

In Magdeburg instead the Hegel gymnasium students were sent home, after an unsuccessful inspection of the police, while in another school the lessons continued. The school of Osnabrueck, in Lower Saxony, and two institutes in Goettingen, in the north-western state of Lower Saxony, and in the city of Bayreuth in Bavaria are also threatened.
