A tragic stabbing incident at a school in Nantes, France, resulted in the death of a 15-year-old girl, who suffered 57 stab wounds. The assailant, a high school sophomore, also injured three others. Prosecutor Antoine Leroy described the suspect as a solitary individual with a fascination for Hitler and unclear motives. The attack has led to renewed discussions in France regarding school security, prompting suggestions such as metal detectors to curb similar violence in the future. Witness accounts reveal that teachers subdued the attacker, who had sent troubling communications prior to the assault.
The teenage boy killed the girl in a stabbing spree on Thursday at the private school in Nantes, inflicting 57 knife wounds in her body.
The suspect is "extremely solitary", fascinated by Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and with "evidently suicidal" tendencies, according to prosecutor Antoine Leroy.
Witnesses said teachers overpowered the teenage student -- whose identity has not been revealed but who a fellow pupil also said had expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler.
The attack prompted new soul-searching in France about teen violence and school security, with the prime minister suggesting metal detectors to prevent future attacks.
