Whether students would have had to evacuate the building depended on the further progress of the investigation. On the social media platform X, law enforcement officials informed parents that they were temporarily unable to collect their children.

The Middle Franconia Police further posted on X: “To date, no threatening actions have been recorded,” and requested that rumors not be spread. Law enforcement also clarified: “For the sake of clarity: no shots were heard on the school grounds.”
Information Regarding the Student’s Possession of a Weapon Under Investigation
Police officers identified the specific individual referred to in the report of a suspected weapon. However, it remained unclear whether the student actually had a dangerous object in their possession, and if so, exactly what kind.
