Czech police reported that a pupil carried out a knife attack at a school in the western city of Domazlice on Tuesday, wounding two children. The police stated on X that they detained the alleged perpetrator “within several minutes” and confirmed that the children’s lives were not in jeopardy.

“A girl pupil attacked her schoolmates with a knife. Two children were injured and their parents have been informed,” police said.

“Both injured children, whose lives are not threatened, are undergoing treatment, just like another child who was in shock,” they added.

Regional governor Rudolf Spotak later informed reporters that both children had been released into home care and that their injuries were not serious. The Blesk tabloid reported that the 13-year-old alleged perpetrator had stabbed a boy in the stomach and a girl in the back. Regional police chief Petr Machacek stated that the girl’s motives were unknown.

Domazlice deputy mayor Viktor Krutina told reporters that the attack occurred just before school began.

“Owing to the rapid reaction of a teacher and the headmaster, there were no further attacks elsewhere in the building,” he said.

Headmaster Ivan Rybar said the suspect attacked her schoolmates in a building for 12- to 15-year-olds. He added that she was a Czech national and had never had any discipline issues.

The school said on Facebook it had canceled classes for older children “because of an extraordinary event”, while younger children stayed in class in the school’s other building.

Rybar said the attack occurred on the second day of the school year, as teachers were planning to give pupils a lesson on safety.
