“We need support from government institutions, school teams, media, civil society organizations and all the people who are involved,” about 50 teachers’ groups and other organizations said in a joint statement. Croatia’s ministry of education said it has held meetings of expert teams tasked with finding ways of improving school security. Minister Radovan Fuchs said measures could include locking school doors or entry control.
Officials said the suspected attacker was a 19-year-old former student of the primary school in Precko and still lives in the neighborhood. The young man was cutting himself when police apprehended him.
