A pupil at a school in France was detained by police after two people were injured in a shooting, officials said on Wednesday. Authorities said a staff member at the school intervened and disarmed the suspect before law enforcement arrived.
Officials said the weapon was a hunting shotgun that had been hidden inside a guitar case. The staff member’s actions prevented further violence, according to initial accounts released by authorities.
Police arrived at the scene shortly after the incident and took the pupil into custody. Investigators are examining the circumstances surrounding the shooting and the reasons the weapon was brought onto school grounds.
The condition of the two injured people has not been immediately disclosed. Officials said they would provide further information as inquiries continue and as investigators establish a clearer chronology of events.
