Bomb threat at a comprehensive school in Dorsten
A comprehensive school in Dorsten has been evacuated due to a bomb threat. According to a police spokeswoman, a threatening email was received in the school administration's mailbox on Saturday, but was only read on Monday morning. As a result, the pupils who were already in the building had to leave and the others who had just arrived were not even allowed in. "The school has been evacuated."
Police officers are now on site to search the building of the Wulfen comprehensive school for a possible threat. Against the backdrop of the Gaza war, there have already been similar cases in other German cities in recent weeks. The police spokeswoman initially refused to comment on the exact content of the email. The "Dorstener Zeitung" had previously reported.
The evacuation of the school has led to a disruption in education, potentially causing missed lessons for the students. Furthermore, this incident has highlighted the need for increased security measures in schools, given the rising incidence of such threats.
