"A secondary school student stabbed an art teacher in southern France on Tuesday, leaving the 60-year-old in critical condition, the local public prosecutor said. The pupil, in a class of early teenagers, stabbed the teacher at least three times. He was later arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, said Raphael Balland, the public prosecutor in the southern city of Toulon. France's education minister, Edouard Geffray, said that he was headed to La Guicharde secondary school, where the stabbing took place, in the town of Sanary-sur-Mer."
"France has seen a series of incidents in which pupils have attacked teachers or other schoolchildren. A 14-year-old schoolboy was last year charged with the murder of a teaching assistant after allegedly stabbing her to death in June. He attacked the 31-year-old, a mother of a young boy, during a bag search in the eastern town of Nogent. In a separate case, a student in April killed a girl and wounded several other pupils in a stabbing spree in the western city of Nantes."
A secondary school pupil stabbed a 60-year-old art teacher multiple times at La Guicharde secondary school in Sanary-sur-Mer, leaving the teacher in critical condition. The pupil, from a class of early teenagers, stabbed the teacher at least three times and was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. The education minister traveled to the school and expressed sympathy for the victim, family, and educational community. The incident follows other recent school attacks in France, including a 14-year-old charged with killing a teaching assistant in Nogent and an April stabbing in Nantes that killed a girl and wounded several pupils.
