The French president denounced the ‘senseless violence’ after the deadly attack on a teaching assistant in Nogent in eastern France
French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday condemned “senseless ... violence” after a 14-year-old pupil fatally stabbed a teaching assistant, the latest deadly incident at a school in the country.
The secondary school student was arrested after attacking the 31-year-old assistant with a knife during a bag search in Nogent in eastern France, officials said.
France has in recent years seen several attacks on teachers and pupils by other schoolchildren.
In March, police started random searches for knives and other weapons concealed in bags at and around schools.
