St. Petersburg Ninth-Grader Stabs Teacher in School Attack

A psychiatrist is treating the boy with a transfer to a children's psychiatric hospital under consideration.

Overview

  • The 29-year-old teacher sustained multiple stab wounds, with investigators citing a bad grade as the reported motive based on preliminary findings.
  • School staff triggered the panic alarm, and the security guard provided first aid and called an ambulance as Rosgvardiya and police arrived.
  • Police prevented the student's suicide attempt, and both the teacher and the ninth-grader were hospitalized.
  • Authorities opened a criminal case on attempted murder, with the GUMVD and the Investigative Committee leading the probe.
  • Officials said the teenager was not registered at a psychoneurological dispensary and the family was not on social-risk lists, noting a routine school psychiatric check in September.
