On Friday, the news emerged that a student at the school in Pétange had been taken into custody after threatening to do a school shooting. One of the teenager's classmates had reported the incident to the school's management and the police.
However, new details emerging in an article by L'Essentiel reveal that the student had written the threat after losing a bet. The article, which is based on accounts by other students, details that a group of students had made a bet and the loser had to write that they would carry out a school shooting on Snapchat. The underage student was then taken into custody on Friday morning.
The entire incident demonstrates that the authorities take such threats seriously.
