Armed with two knives, a 14-year-old student stabbed three teachers and two students this Thursday, September 28, in a school in Jerez de la Frontera in Andalusia.
Armed with two kitchen knives, a 14-year-old Spanish student presented himself this Thursday, September 28, in the classroom of the Elena Garcia Armada public high school in Jerez de la Frontera in Andalusia. Shortly after classes started, he attacked other students and teachers.
“The police located the suspect on the third floor, he had in his possession the two knives used to attack three teachers and two students,” said Adrian Dominguez, adding that the suspect was arrested and taken to a police station. This spokesperson was unable to provide details on the extent of the injuries. But according to Spanish media, a teacher is in serious condition after being hit in the eye while the other victims were slightly injured.
“He was always alone”
According to the Spanish National Police, the alert was given just minutes after classes started. The attacker is a 14-year-old student who attends the school. According to a testimony published by the Spanish daily El Pais, “the alleged attacker entered the classroom around 8:20 a.m., sat down at his desk and took two kitchen knives out of his backpack. He then attacked one of his classmates from behind and stabbed him with both knives while shouting “I will kill you”. The biology teacher who was teaching the morning’s class tried to intervene and was injured in the eyeball. Still according to El Pais, the attacker then headed towards another classroom, which led to a stampede during which another teacher was injured.
“I didn’t know him very well because it was the first time I was with him in class, but he was always alone,” a student at the school told El Pais, adding that “a lot of his classmates constantly made fun of him. The school, which is now under control, has been evacuated and classes have been suspended for the entire day. The victims suffered “more or less serious” injuries and are currently hospitalized.
