The PSP is “very vigilant” this Thursday and police have been visiting schools in Greater Lisbon in recent days asking teachers and parents to report suspicious behavior. cm from the official PSP source.
This is a warning following promises of a “carnage” – on unidentified social media profiles in recent weeks – scheduled for this Thursday, the 24th anniversary of the Columbine High School attack in the US, in which two gunmen killed 13 students and a teacher.
ABOUT cm he also knows that this Thursday PSP will have several teams ready to intervene in the case of an “active attacker” – as first happened in Portugal three weeks ago in a double homicide at the Ismaili Center in Lisbon, in which two agents stopped the killer a minute after anxiety.
Authorities don’t want to “overcharge” what they’ve done – “because it could be a stupid teenage stance,” the source said – but they think it’s best not to ignore it and “act proactively and without alarmism.”
In addition to the investigation launched after the threats — starting with a profile named “vidabandida93” — to identify those responsible, in recent days elements of the PSP have strengthened contacts with schools.
In addition to general safety advice, such as not allowing outsiders to enter the establishment, they asked for “everyone to be on the lookout” and “contact 112 immediately” if they see signs of risk – “if this happens, at this time we will act to mislead and react,” a PSP official said.
This may be a replica of what is happening in Brazil, where after the attacks of recent weeks on the Internet, massacres were planned for this Thursday. Searches were carried out and social media accounts were deleted.
