The police also received reports that the two people left the classroom afterwards and fled somewhere unrecognized, a police spokesman said. This is now being investigated. They are said to be two young males. There are no indications of injuries. The police had received information this morning about an unclear threat situation at the district school. They are deploying a large number of officers. The area around the school has been cordoned off.
The incident at the Blankenese district school is classified as an emergency due to the two individuals with weapons threatening a teacher. In light of this, nearby schools have temporarily suspended classes as a safety measure.
