“Sudden shock wants to hit me. Another attack at my daughter's university. Maria is sitting with her friends barricaded in the lecture hall. Damn it, universities and schools shouldn't be like trenches on the front line,” he reported. Marcin Wrona also published a photo showing a barricaded door. “America has gone crazy,” he added.
As it turned out, the alarm was false. The university services did not confirm the presence of the attacker. No one was hurt in the incident.
The university authorities then confirmed the information and lifted the state of threat. Police have launched an investigation into the false alert.
