There were no injuries reported among the high school students. However, a security guard and a teacher sustained severe injuries from multiple stab wounds.

“This morning, a police operation was conducted at the Gambetta school campus in Arras. The culprit has been apprehended,” stated local officials on X, previously known as Twitter.

The Elysée Palace has announced that President Emmanuel Macron and the French Minister of Education will visit the site of the stabbing.

As per reports from the local community, individuals of Chechen descent, including his brother, were apprehended at the location.
