Student kills one and injures three in stabbing at French high school
A student killed a girl and wounded three other pupils in a stabbing spree on Thursday at a private school in France that prompted demands for tighter security in schools after a series of attacks.
The youth – whose identity has not been revealed but who had expressed an admiration for Adolf Hitler – was overcome by teachers after staging attacks in several classrooms, witnesses said.
He is now in custody having further shocked a country that has seen a series of school knife attacks. The suspect sent a rambling email to other students just before the attacks.
In the latest case, the assailant attacked fellow students with a knife at the Notre-Dame de Toutes-Aides grammar school in the western city of Nantes.
