Overview

• The alert around 13:00 prompted a large police deployment at the Gesamtschule an der Kirchstraße in Dinslaken (Kreis Wesel).
• Officers cordoned off the area and blocked through traffic to stabilize the situation during searches.
• Roughly an hour and a half later, police issued an all-clear, reporting no indications of a suspicious person or danger to people.
• Police concluded their measures as cordons were gradually lifted, instruction ended for the day, and students were escorted off campus to parents.
• A dpa photographer observed hundreds of parents waiting in the school parking lot during the operation.
