Mecklenburg-West Pomerania: worries and fears after a shooting spree at a US elementary school

Schwerin (dpa / mv) - After the killing spree in an elementary school in the US state of Texas with more than 20 dead, concerned parents contacted the Ministry of Education. "Several inquiries from parents and the media show that there are also great concerns and fears in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania," explained Minister Simone Oldenburg (left) on Wednesday. She asked the teachers to talk to the children in class about what had happened and about the numerous safety measures that had been taken at the schools in MV a long time ago. School psychologists are also available. According to Oldenburg, all general and vocational schools drew up emergency plans and formed crisis teams years ago. "This ensures the greatest possible security in our schools," emphasized the minister.
