A 15-year-old boy killed a fellow pupil and wounded three others in a stabbing attack at a high school in the western French city of Nantes yesterday, before he was overpowered by teachers, police said.
BFM TV reported that the student who died was a girl and that the three injured students were boys. Police did not confirm the age or gender of the victims.
Teaching staff subdued the attacker at the Notre-Dame-de-Toutes-Aides, a private Catholic school, before police arrived, a police spokesperson said.
She said there was nothing to indicate a terrorist motive.
Students were held inside the school after the attack but allowed to leave in the mid-afternoon under police protection.
