Father and son arrested after school shooting near Marseille

The father of a teenager who opened fire at a school in southern France has been detained after several weapons were found in his home during a search. This was reported by BFMTV.

According to the channel, the 14-year-old is still in custody. Marseille's deputy prosecutor told reporters the young man did not shout any slogans during the shooting. However, all the circumstances of the incident and the motives of the attacker have not yet been confirmed - the interrogation of witnesses continues.

Earlier, the Minister of education of France Edouard Geffret said that a student of the college in the commune of Auban in the south of the country opened fire in the educational institution. As a result, the headmaster and teacher were injured with a shot in the hips and pelvis. Another woman standing next to the director escaped with minor injuries. The lives of all three are out of danger.

One of the students said that the armed teenager was about a meter away from him. Shot once in the ground, he pursued a group of students for a while. In the end, none of the children were injured. The shooter was disarmed and detained by a school employee. The prosecutor's office of Marseille has opened an investigation into the attempted murder.
