France: Amid All the School Riots, Now a Shooting at a Marseille School

Hat tip Le Figaro

 For the past couple of weeks, many schools in major French cities have been rocked by student riots. Naturally, they are a mixture of far-left, migrant, 2nd-3rd generation, Islamist, and pro-Palestinian protesters claiming they are protesting poor school conditions, which is a poor excuse.

Now comes this: This morning in Aubagne, just outside Marseille, a 14-year-old, not further identified, opened fire at a school, wounding the school principal and a teacher before being disarmed. The shooter's parents have also been taken into custody. That is all that is known at this point. We will continue to follow the story.

Le Figaro reports that the shooter is reportedly a member of some group of true crime followers of mass shootings. Meanwhile, the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office has taken over the case. There is still no word on the ID of the shooter (which due to his/her age) is not expected to be released) or motive.
