teen arrested, 2 wounded

A gunman was carrying several weapons, police sources told local media.

A student armed with guns and grenades was arrested after a shooting wounded at least two people at a high school in southern France on Thursday, local media reported.

Police confirmed the shooting unfolded at the Alexis de Tocqueville high school in Grasse. A gunman targeted the headmaster, who was one of the two people hurt, police sources told BFM-TV.


The arrested student carried a rifle, two handguns and two grenades, a police source told Reuters, adding that the suspect was 17.

Police initially warned a second suspect may have been on the loose, BFM-TV added. A motive was unclear.

The government sent out an attack alert through its mobile app, warning people in the area to stay inside, the BBC reported. The alert came in a system implemented by the government after the deadly November 2015 attacks in Paris.

Police closed off the area as dozens of students gathered in a nearby parking lot.

The shooting took place the same day a letter bomb exploded at the International Monetary Fund office in Paris, some 500 miles north of Grasse, a hub for the country's perfume industry.

France remains in a state of emergency following the Paris massacre and an attack last year in the city of Nice, which is 25 miles away from Grasse.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

How the hell do you get grenades?

France needs better gun and grenade control. If they were not legal for citizens to own then this shooting never would have happened.

[lewdest]

Leave it to France to not be able to kill a single person in a crowded school with that many weapons.

Grenades?

Where'd he get grenades?

Anyway I'm glad nobody died, especially considering the explosives.

To answer where he got grenades from, could likely be some kind of crime net. Back in the early and mid 90's where biker gangs were quite problematic, a number of military storage were raided in a lot of different countries. All sorts of weapons turned up back then, and also more resent times.

I still remember in 1998, a biker castle was raided here in Denmark, and they found darn RPGs and different explosives from Germany, scary stuff.

a biker castle

What?

Grenades were probably from Sweden.

That's terrible, but at the same time totally awesome.

How the hell are people getting grenades?!

I live in TX and the best I can do is a $1,800.00 flash bang. . . .

We call biker gang HQs, castles.

I would figure it's also possible that these weapons are coming from the refugees or from eastern european migrants.

That could also be. It is just that it is quite common that we find remnants, from those raids. Further investigation will probably find out.

Where the hell would you ever need a flashbang as a civilian?

Now we wait to see who this kid is. Calling it now, refugee.

I dont think so, not for this one.

No, grenades are not legal in Sweden.

There are tons of dummy grenades out there and it takes little skill to make them live.

Also, some unnamed religion, has tons of online guides for making them from everyday objects.

Last but not least, the Anarchists Cookbook has been around for decades.

Not quite, even though Sweden does make a silly amount of weapons for such a small country.
Grenades are about as common in Sweden as they are in your own counrey however.

Grenade attacks are a huge problem, i've never heard of another country where grenade attacks are such a common occurrence than in sweden, save some backwater fallen regime.
