Armed police were deployed and schools closed in the western Dutch city of Leiden on Monday after an apparent student threat to "shoot my Dutch teacher and as many students as I can".
A decision was taken late Sunday night to close middle schools following a tip-off by Swiss police that a threat had been made on US-based website 4chan.org, where the anonymous message was posted over the weekend.
"I will shoot my Dutch teacher and as many students as I can," said the message in English, posted anonymously.
"It's at a school in the Dutch city of Leiden..." it said, chillingly adding "for more proof, I will be using a 9mm Colt Defender."
"Oh, and I'm using a proxy, the police is not gonna find me before tomorrow," the message ends.
"There are police guarding every middle school in Leiden this (Monday) morning," the Dutch national broadcaster NOS reported.
