One dead and two children injured in Poland's second school attack in two days
Authorities said the attack may be linked to an online challenge as police found two knives and a helmet-mounted camera on the suspect.
- On Thursday, a 15-year-old former pupil killed a 37-year-old caretaker and wounded two adults at the John-Paul primary school in Leszczydol-Nowiny, Poland, while wearing a helmet-mounted camera during the around 9 a.m. attack.
- The incident follows a Wednesday stabbing where a 19-year-old wounded 10 people at a school in Ostroleka, and police detained a 17-year-old in Sierpc on suspicion of planning an attack, possibly linked to an internet challenge.
- Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned of a "grim copycat phenomenon" during an emergency meeting, stating, "For the first time, we are dealing with a killer who wore a helmet-mounted camera, intending to film the knife attack."
- Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski said the Sierpc suspect planned "something dangerous," while Inspector Katarzyna Nowak noted serious offenders are becoming younger across Europe, stating, "Over the past few months in Poland, we have seen arrests of teenagers."
- Tusk ordered police to visit schools daily to prevent further violence, while a parent confirmed students at the John-Paul primary school remained safe inside following the attack.
