Headmaster shot in French school, teen arrested
The suspected perpetrator fired several shots inside the school before staff subdued the teenager and law enforcement intervened.
According to French authorities, a 14-year-old boy was arrested on Monday following a shooting at Joseph-Lakanal High School in Aubagne, southern France. A headmaster and teacher at the middle school were shot with a hunting rifle, though their lives were not in danger. A third person was also grazed by the gunfire. Police stated that the gunman fired several shots inside the school before being subdued by staff members, with law enforcement intervening.
The Marseille prosecutor's office confirmed the arrest but did not provide further details. The prime minister's office announced that the interior and education ministers would be heading to the scene. The incident appears to be unrelated to recent high school protests in France.
