At a middle school in Garsten (Steyr-Land district) on Monday morning, a caller announced a shooting spree. The school was immediately evacuated and students were taken out of danger to an adjacent curling hall. At around 3 p.m. the all-clear was given, the large-scale police operation was ended and the children were handed over to their parents, according to a spokesman for the Upper Austrian State Police Directorate.
However, the investigation continues; The police said it was important to clarify who made the call and with what intention. The phone number probably came from Estonia and a computer-generated voice was heard during the anonymous call. In any case, school operations will resume normally on Tuesday, but with an increased police presence in front of the school.
