False alarm at a vocational school: the police had deployed with many forces. The officials reacted to the news of a possibly weapon-like object with the full deployment program.
A large-scale police operation at the vocational school in Traunstein, Upper Bavaria, after an alarm about suspected weapons-like objects ended without incident. “The threat situation has not come true,” said police spokesman Stefan Sunday on Tuesday. “No one was threatened, endangered or even injured.”
A teacher reported around 10:30 a.m. that young people – presumably students – had handled one or more weapon-like objects. The alleged student(s) then went to school.
The police then rushed out in large numbers. According to the standard, a special task force (SEK) was also alerted. It was said that this was normal for a mission of this magnitude.
