French schools were set Thursday to hold a nationwide minute of silence for a teacher stabbed to death the previous day by one of her pupils with no apparent motive.
PARIS, France –
“It’s important to be here for her family, those close to her, her pupils,” he added, saying “we have to lend strength to those who witnessed” the attack. Lasalle’s partner told broadcaster BFMTV that she had spent “at least 80 to 90 percent of her time working for her school, even during the holidays”.
“What we know for sure is that no obvious motive has been identified” for the killing, government spokesman Olivier Veran told broadcaster France Inter. Such attacks at schools are generally rare in France but there have been growing concerns about the security of teachers.
