Schwarzenegger, dressed in a traditional Bavarian-style leather
jacket, a buttoned-down shirt and jeans, was accompanied by his
partner, Heather Milligan, and his son, Christopher.
The fairgrounds were closed for hours Wednesday as police
searched the area due to a bomb threat linked to an explosion
across town.
During the initial investigation, a letter written by the
suspect and found near the crime scene contained a
“non-specific” threat of explosives related to Oktoberfest,
Bavaria police previously said.
Wednesday's images showed police in fluorescent vests patrolling
nearly barren pavements near roller coasters and other rides and
attractions. Revelers returned to the fairgrounds Wednesday
evening after it was deemed safe.
Decades ago, Oktoberfest was the target of a deadly neo-Nazi
attack. A bombing on Sept. 26, 1980, claimed 12 lives, including
three children, plus the attacker, student Gundolf Koehler, a
supporter of a banned far-right group. More than 200 people were
wounded.
