Three Teenagers Accused of Plotting Attack on German School

Authorities say the planned attack at Nordringschule in Landau was thwarted, with no ongoing threat to public safety.

Three teenagers, aged 15 to 16, are accused of planning an attack on students at Nordringschule in Landau, Germany.
A 16-year-old former student of the school, identified as the main suspect, is now in a secure psychiatric facility.
The other suspects, a 15-year-old male and a 16-year-old female, have been temporarily excluded from attending school.
The alleged attack was planned to take place in December 2024, but authorities intervened before it could occur.
Police have increased their presence at the school to reassure the community, while investigations into the motive and details of the plan continue.
