Pforzheim. The rumor spread like wildfire on Tuesday evening via the Whatsapp messenger service: A rampage is said to be planned for this Wednesday at the Konrad Adenauer School in Pforzheim and the facility will remain closed for this reason. When asked, the police and school announced: It is apparently just a rumor.
“No, that’s not the case. We turned the police on anyway,” headmaster Hans-Joachim Zahnlecker told PZ-news in the morning. The rumor is said to have come from the teachers’ circle, but that has not yet been checked, Zahnlecker continued. Numerous students and parents had already inquired and called the school with concern that morning, and PZ-news also received some inquiries via social media. Children were also canceled for that day, for which the headmaster “of course understands”. But the lessons take place normally.
