Schools in the Dutch university city of Leiden have been closed after police said they had received a "serious threat" of a shooting.
In a statement, police said they did not know who had made the threat, which was posted on a website, or which school had been targeted.
The statement added: "Police have received mention about a possible school shooting (being planned) in Leiden.
"In light of this serious threat, it has been decided not to take any risk and therefore all middle schools will remain closed on Monday."
Pupils and their parents have been warned to stay at home and an investigation is underway, police said.
Middle schools in the Netherlands cover the 12 to 16 age group and in Leiden there are at least 22 - some of them international.
The city, which is home to the country's oldest university, lies just northeast of The Hague.
In April 2011, a man armed with a semi-automatic rifle killed six people and injured at least 10 others when he opened fire on shoppers in a shopping centre in the nearby town of Alphen aan de Rijn.
The gunman, 24-year-old Tristan van der Vlis, then killed himself.
In 1999, four students and a teacher were injured when a student fired 10 shots in a computer room at a school in the southern town of Veghel.
