Teenager Armed With Guns & “Grenades” Attacks French High School

By Bob Owens

A 17-year-old student armed with three firearms and two “grenades,” shot his school’s headmaster and a number of other victims before being taken into custody in an afternoon attack on Alexis de Tocqueville school in the town of Grasse in southern France today.

One person has been arrested after a shooting at a high school in south-east France, authorities said Thursday.

An elite police operations unit was at the scene at the Alexis de Tocqueville school in the town of Grasse, the Prefecture of Alpes-Maritimes said.

CNN’s French affiliate BFMTV reported that a 17-year-old armed with a rifle, a handgun, a revolver and two grenades entered the high school at about lunchtime and opened fire at the headteacher.

Two people are injured, including the headteacher, according to BFMTV, and the armed individual has been arrested.

The school has been evacuated and is currently being searched, BFMTV said.

French journalists suggest that the suspect was obsessed with mass murder, Satanism, and the Columbine High School massacre.
