A 14-year-old student stabbed three teachers and two of his classmates at a school in Cadiz, Spain. The teenager was arrested, but did not explain his actions.
Three teachers and two students stabbed. The scene took place in a Spanish school in Jerez de la Frontera, near the city of Cádiz, in Andalusia. A 14-year-old student suspected of being the perpetrator of the violence was arrested by the police, but has not yet spoken out about the attack.
It was around 8:30 a.m. when the arrested student took “knives” out of his bag according to the Spanish press agency EFE. He first threatened a student near him by shouting “I’m going to kill you” before targeting everyone present and injuring his teacher in the eye, according to El País. The report shows five injured: three teachers and two students. The teacher who was hit in the eye was hospitalized and must undergo surgery, while the four other victims were treated by emergency services for more or less serious injuries.
The “very angry” student before
The 14-year-old boy suspected of being the perpetrator did not explain his actions to investigators. The EFE indicates that the student was “very angry” and sat at the back of the class when he took two knives out of his bag, kitchen knives according to El Pais. The suspect, however, is not known to have violent or problematic behavior, he is only described as “often alone”.
The student arrested by the authorities must be presented to the juvenile prosecutor’s office. His age must be verified because he does not incur the same sanctions, nor the same penalties if he is more or less than 14 years old, informed the RTVE.
