A teacher were killed and four people were injured when attacked by a student who burst into a teaching institute Barcelona, Spain, armed with a crossbow, told Efe Sources close to the case.
“Then the attacker entered another class and assaulted another student with the knife he was carrying.”
The alleged assailant, minor, and has been detained by police, sources said.
The incident occurred about 09.15 am (7:15 GMT), when the student arrived late to class, at the Joan Fuster Institute of Catalan capital, knocked on the door and opened her teacher, time in which he drew his crossbow and shot near the face, causing several injuries.
Witnesses said the young man also shot a student in that class, the professor’s daughter.
On hearing the screams, a professor of next class came to the place and student shot him in the chest, wound that caused his death.
Then, the attacker entered another class and assaulted another student with the knife he was carrying, the sources said.
The number of injured rises to four, none of them in serious condition, according to sources.
The incident took place in a public school for children between 12 and 16.
Fearing that the young continue attacking other people, other teachers confined to students in their classes .
Spokesmen for the police could not confirm whether the young man, who was not identified, studied at the center in a neighborhood of Barcelona working class where the attack took place shortly after the start of the school day, told The Associated Press.
A spokeswoman for Catalan regional police said it was too early to determine whether the incident – of which almost no record in the country – was an attempt to emulate the attack of April 20, 1999 in Columbine, Colorado, which killed 12 students and a teacher.
The Spanish officials spoke on condition of anonymity because state and regional police rules prevent identification by name.
