A threat against a Magdeburg comprehensive school triggered a police operation on Thursday. The police initially did not want to comment on whether the threat was a shooting threat.

No shots were fired either. As a precautionary measure, police officers are still on site to ensure protection. They are also in close contact with the school management in order to keep disruption to students and teaching staff as low as possible. The IGS Regine Hildebrandt is a comprehensive school in the city of Magdeburger.
