Al menos ocho personas resultaron heridas este jueves en un tiroteo en una escuela de la ciudad de Grasse, en el sur de Francia. El tirador, un adolescente de 17 años, tenía como objetivo asesinar al director del instituto.
El alumno, quien estaba armado con un rifle, dos armas cortas y dos granadas, fue detenido tras el incidente producido en la escuela secundaria Alexis de Tocqueville, y podría sufrir problemas psicológicos.
Como medida de seguridad, las autoridades ordenaron el cierre de todos los centros educativos de la localidad, confinando en su interior a alumnos, profesores y empleados.
Funcionarios locales dijeron que numerosos alumnos buscaron refugio en un supermercado cercano "lo que creó un pánico y rumores de un ataque".
