SLOVAKIA: Teen kills fellow student, teacher at school

A teen killed a fellow student and a teacher in a knife attack at a secondary school in northeastern Slovakia on Thursday and wounded another student.

The 18-year-old was detained shortly after the crime, police said.

“Two women aged 18 and 51 suffered fatal injuries,” Danka Capakova from Slovakia’s emergency service told AFP.

Interior Minister Matus Sutaj Estok said another student, also 18, was in hospital in a “serious but stable” condition.

He said the dead teacher was a deputy headmistress and declined to elaborate on the attacker’s motive.
