The police were able to solve the case, the threat was written by two 15-year-old girls, a spokesperson explained on Tuesday to the APA. The two confessed, they could now be charged with dangerous threats. Whether the online classes will now be lifted prematurely was not yet certain in the morning.

Due to a post containing a threat, three schools in Oberwart were sent into distance learning for three days starting Tuesday.
Girls Acted "For Fun and Foolery"
The two teenagers acted "for fun and foolery and did not think about the consequences," said Helmut Marban from the Burgenland State Police Directorate. They were previously unblemished, but as 15-year-olds they are already criminally liable. There was never any actual danger, said the spokesperson. However, the police will also be present on Tuesday evening in Oberwart at the memorial event on the occasion of the Roma attack 30 years ago, which takes place with the participation of numerous students - regardless of the post, Marban explained.
Originally, the three affected schools were supposed to be closed from Tuesday for three days and classes were to be held online. Whether the distance learning will now be shortened is still being clarified, the education directorate said.
