- Alert issued over impending explosion at Hameln's educational institution
Following the activation of the alarm system at a school in Hameln, authorities announced that the area was safe. After conducting a thorough inspection of the Elisabeth-Belling Comprehensive School and the adjacent Albert-Einstein Gymnasium, it was determined that the incident was a false alarm. The alarm was triggered within the comprehensive school. No injuries were reported.
Initial reports of gunfire and a shattered window pane were found to be unsubstantiated. In response, numerous law enforcement officers, emergency services, and firefighters were dispatched.
The comprehensive school and the gymnasium were promptly evacuated, with a specialized team taking the lead. Teachers, emergency personnel, and firefighters ensured the well-being of the students at designated collection points before allowing them to depart. Further education was put on hold.
Police suspect that the alarm was deliberately activated. The perpetrator will be held responsible for the resulting expenses, which currently amount to five figures. The investigation is still ongoing.
Despite the initial scare, it was revealed that the incident was just another case of a false alarm. The authorities also stated that other schools in the vicinity were not affected.
Following the investigation, it was discovered that the activation of the alarm system was not an isolated incident; there had been other instances of false alarms in the past year.
