A school in Norway had to be closed on Monday according to Forbes. Police say that the discovery of an online video warning of a massacre led to the closure of a secondary school. An unnamed fifteen year old student at the Kjenn school has admitted to posting the video clip on YouTube. “He has not been arrested and he is not in police custody. We will speak with him and his father during the day,” Loerenskog police chief superintendant Jens Bruun told Agence France-Presse. The fifty second video, posted on YouTube on Saturday, was removed late Sunday. With music playing in the background, it showed a picture of the school, Bruun said. Pictures of six teachers then popped up, as a voice said: 'It will happen one day, it will be a bloody machine, one day you will die.' Bruun would not comment on the boy's explanation, but said police did not believe he was in possession of weapons. A number of schools in the Nordic countries have been evacuated and closed due to threats since Nov 7 when 18-year-old Finnish student Pekka-Eric Auvinen killed eight people before turning his gun on himself at the Jokela High School north of Helsinki. Before the massacre, Auvinen posted videos and messages on YouTube indicating what he planned to do.
