Bomb Threat Against Tyrolean School: 14-Year-Old Incited 17-Year-Old Viennese to Commit the Act

According to investigators, the teenager called from a phone booth at the state headquarters in the federal capital and announced that the school would be "blown up" within 48 hours, said Christoph Kirchmair from the Innsbruck city police command to the APA. The 14-year-old confessed.

Operational Costs Amounting to 3,000 Euros

A day before the threat, a shooting spree was announced in a toilet at the same school. Who was responsible for this is still being investigated. "Through the clarification of the bomb threat," however, the "circle of suspects has significantly narrowed," it was said.

After the bomb threat was received, the school was searched with a large contingent of emergency services, including explosive detection dogs. Since nothing was found, the school was "released" again - but continued to be "continuously monitored," Kirchmair described. According to state police director Helmut Tomac, operational costs amounting to 3,000 euros were incurred. "The costs will be charged in any case after the investigations are completed," he added.
