The suspect, a teenager, was detained as part of a large-scale police operation in the town of Offenburg.

“The police are on site with strong forces,” local authorities said in a statement. “There is no further danger.”

The school was initially cordoned off and students were asked to stay in their classrooms for their safety, dpa reported.
