Cobra Operation at School in Lichtenwörth: No Threat Detected

According to this, no actual threat could be proven against the initially suspected 14-year-old, and there was "no danger at any time" posed by the boy. The decisive rumors are believed to have originated from a student.

This student, however, stated that he had only expressed his opinion or a thought experiment about the 14-year-old. The reason given was the suspect's background, which was known to the police. The boy was not aware of any actual threat. The student who expressed the thoughts was also not in contact with the 14-year-old, the police emphasized in a release.

Threat Against School in Lichtenwörth: School Administration Had Informed Authorities

The school administration had informed the authorities on Tuesday after rumors of a shooting spree became known. According to the executive, there was an "abstract threat" that was "taken seriously accordingly" because the youth and former student of the educational institution was already known to the police. The Cobra task force was called in.

The 14-year-old was later tracked down and located in Wiener Neustadt and detained. After an interrogation in the presence of his lawyer, the teenager was reported to the Wiener Neustadt public prosecutor's office. The case is being handled there on suspicion of making a dangerous threat, said authority spokesman Erich Habitzl on Thursday in response to an APA inquiry. The police's final report is available and is now being reviewed. However, based on the facts, there is no urgent suspicion against the 14-year-old.
