Fellow students very shocked

According to the school, fellow students and the school team are very shocked. Peace has returned to school after the incident, according to de Korenaer in a message on its own website. The school remains open in order to be able to offer students structure and continuity.

There are also extra teachers at school as well as a reception team from the own organization to talk to everyone about what happened. "If necessary or desired, they will also provide longer-term guidance in coping with this event," said the school.

The parents have since been informed. Pending the police investigation, the school does not want to make any further statements.
