One dead, 2 injured in Poland’s second school attack in two days

A 15-year-old former student killed one person and injured two others at a Polish primary school on Thursday, marking the second school attack in Poland within two days. The incident took place at around 7am in Leszczydol-Nowiny, near Warsaw, with a 37-year-old caretaker dying from the attack. The attacker, who was a former pupil of the school and is currently a student at a vocational school, had carried three knives during the incident.

The principal heard the screams, tried to restrain the assailant with the help of a teacher, both of whom were also injured. Interior ministry spokeswoman Karolina Galecka stated that the injured individuals' lives were not in immediate danger. The motive behind the attack remains unknown. Prime Minister Donald Tusk convened an emergency meeting following the incident.

Earlier on Wednesday, a 17-year-old was detained in Sierpc, north-central Poland, for expressing plans to commit a violent act at a school, with police finding two knives in his possession. The suspect had been searching online for guidance on how to carry out such a violent event.
