A teacher was murdered and two people were badly hurt in a stabbing incident at a school in France, according to authorities.
The attack occurred at the Gambetta high school in Arras at around 11:00 AM. Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin shared this information.
The person who attacked someone has been caught and is now under control of the authorities.
According to people who saw it happen, he yelled “Allahu Akbar”, which means “God is greatest”, while carrying out the attack.
The teacher who was killed was someone who taught the French language. Two other people who were hurt were a teacher and a security guard.
The police say that the guy, who is in his 20s, is from Chechnya and is involved in radical Islam. The security services already know about him.
According to French media, he used to go to the school.
The French authorities are investigating an attack for possible links to terrorism. They are looking into charges of murder and attempted murder connected to a terrorist group.
News channel BFMTV says that the police have also caught the attacker’s brother.
The police say everything is okay now.
French President Emmanuel Macron will go to the school later today, while the National Assembly in Paris has stopped its meeting to support the victims.
The attack happened during a time when there was more conflict between the Muslim and Jewish communities in France. This conflict was because of the fighting between Israel and Hamas.
But the police say there is no evidence connecting it to the Middle East.
The attack happened almost three years after another teacher, Samuel Paty, was killed and had his head cut off at his school in a place near Paris.
The person who committed the attack was a young man named Abdullakh Anzorov. He was 18 years old and came from Russia. He was also a Muslim and had sought refuge in another country. The police quickly responded to the attack and shot and killed him.
