Knife Attack at Special Needs School in BrettenSuspect, age 13, arrested about two hours later; victim suffered only superficial injuries and was treated at school.
- A 13-year-old allegedly attacked a fellow pupil with a knife at the Pestalozzi School, a special-education center in Bretten near Karlsruhe.
- The victim sustained superficial wounds that rescue personnel treated on site at the school.
- Police arrested the suspect roughly two hours after the incident outside the town, and initial findings indicate no other students were involved.
- The state criminal police said the suspect had recently been flagged for extremist online remarks, prompting involvement by the anti-extremism competence center and coordination with the local youth welfare office while criminal proceedings are not pursued because of the suspect's age.
Nevertheless, it is our goal to clarify the backgrounds of the incident and to support the responsible youth welfare office in providing the boy and his family with the necessary help.— Landeskriminalamt Baden-Württemberg, press statement on the Bretten school incident
