Summary

A 14-year-old student opened fire at Joseph Lakanal middle school in Aubagne, southern France, wounding the school principal and a teacher. The suspect fired at least four shots, including inside a classroom, using a hunting rifle or shotgun that had been hidden in a guitar case. No students were shot. A staff member disarmed the suspect before police arrived and took him into custody. Both victims were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. The motive remains unclear, though one report cited revenge for bullying and influence from an online subculture celebrating mass shootings; another noted the incident occurred during a period of broader unrest over education system issues. Officials stated there was no immediate evidence linking the shooting to ongoing student protests in France. Mental health counseling was arranged for affected students.
