Police crack down on anti-SIR protesters in Bengaluru, detain 100
The police threatened journalists covering the protest and ordered them to leave the spot, while three photographers were manhandled, despite repeatedly identifying themselves as members of the Press.
A 14-year-old boy was detained by French police following a shooting at his middle school in Aubagne, prosecutors announced. The boy allegedly opened fire with a shotgun concealed in a guitar case, targeting the principal and a teacher on the first floor. Both were wounded in the legs with pellets from a 12-gauge shotgun and were transported to a hospital, sustaining non-life-threatening injuries.
The boy allegedly fired again on the second floor, hitting a teacher's teaching board but missing other students. A staff member disarmed the boy and he was subsequently taken into custody. The motive behind the shooting remains unclear. French President Emmanuel Macron commended the staff's composure, stating they prevented a more severe outcome.
Mental health counseling was provided to the students. This incident, while rare, underscores the ongoing issue of school violence in France.
