Ein Teenager hat seine Lehrkraft schwer verletzt – Festnahme!
Ein 14 Jahre alte Schüler hat während des Unterrichts in einer Schule im Elsass seine Musiklehrerin mit einem Messer angegriffen und sich kurz vor seiner Festnahme selbst lebensgefährliche Stiche zugefügt.

Overview

  • The attack occurred around 8 a.m. at the Robert-Schuman school in Benfeld, where a 66-year-old music teacher was stabbed in the face and hospitalized in serious but not life-threatening condition.
  • Police located the fleeing suspect on a road between Benfeld and Huttenheim; he injured himself in the neck during his arrest, was resuscitated at the scene, and was airlifted to Strasbourg University Hospital.
  • Prosecutor Clarisse Taron said the assault happened in a hallway before classes and that the national antiterror prosecutor was notified, though the motive remains unclear.
  • The 14-year-old was placed in an artificial coma, and investigators are treating the case as attempted manslaughter.
  • France’s education minister visited the school and said the youth had shown a fascination with Hitler and weapons, faced prior disciplinary measures for Nazi-related drawings, and had been living under child welfare care as psychological support teams were deployed for the school community.
