Arrested for attempted murder the 16-year-old who yesterday morning stabbed the history teacher, Elisabetta Condò, in class at the Alessandrini institute in Abbiategrasso, in the province of Milan.
The boy, after being treated at San Carlo for the head wound he caused himself with the Bowie model hunting knife taken from his father, was transferred to neuropsychiatry at the San Paolo hospital: according to what we learn he is suffering from a paranoid disorder .
According to the investigators, the motive for the attack, which took place yesterday in the first hour, is linked to the anger that the student felt for the Italian and history teacher, who had recently marked 4 notes in his register . In total he had received 6, all performance and disciplinary.
The 51-year-old woman was wounded in the arm and head. Transported from 118 to the Legnano hospital, she was sutured and subjected to plastic surgery.
THE AGGRESSION - The teacher would have been stabbed by surprise, as she passed between the desks, at the beginning of the lesson, with the hunting dagger. Then the boy pulled out a pistol (which turned out to be shot), which he had bought regularly in a shop, then removing the red cap.
The teacher managed to free herself and escaped with the help of some pupils, while a stampede broke out in the classroom. At that point the boy, threatening his companions with the fake weapon, made them all leave and sat down at the back of the room placing his knife and pistol on a bench , which were then confiscated.
A violence that "no one expected" at school and which, according to witnesses, would have been perpetrated "without apparent emotions, not even a word". «When we arrived at the school we entered the classroom very carefully, and wearing bulletproof vests because the signal was for a boy armed with a pistol, but once we set foot in the room we saw him at the back, sitting, alone, with his head in hands and weapons resting on the counter,” the two soldiers who intervened, a deputy sergeant and a chosen carabiniere, recounted.
"We never had signs of the possibility of similar behavior, we certainly could not have imagined this - said Michele Raffaeli, head teacher of the complex - but an interview with the student and with the parents was scheduled for educational problems ".
