AMO slope threat in Oberwart: Police give the all-clear after excitement!

in Oberwart in Burgenland today, on February 4, 2025, there was great excitement after an alleged killing spree was announced in several schools via social media. The threats caused the trade academy, the HBLA and a bilingual high school to be closed on Tuesday morning, and the students should be taught from afar for the next three days. However, the Burgenland State Police Directorate quickly gave the all-clear after the authors of the threatening postings were identified. These are two 15-year-old girls who wrote the threatening messages "from joke and great", as police spokesman Helmut Marban said. According to reports from 5min.at, the teenagers had no intention to injure the injury and the situation was not threatening from the start.

Development of the investigation

The police were able to quickly clarify the identities of the young people and be responsible. Although the girls stood out to have created the dangerous postings, they could legally only threaten a charge of dangerous threats, since there was never an actual danger. The educational directorate will now decide on the next steps after the original plans for a three -day closure of the schools could temporarily be withdrawn, as can be read in another report by today.at.

The incidents raise questions about the responsibility in dealing with social media and illustrate the importance of quick action by the authorities in order to counteract such dangers immediately. However, the current events can be regarded as an example of careful handling of serious topics without extensively endangering teaching and school-related processes.
