A teenage suspect was arrested for stabbing a female teacher to death at a school in France this week, according to reports.
The horrifying incident unfolded at around 10 a.m. on Wednesday morning in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, a port town in the Basque region.
A 16-year-old male pupil pulled a 4-inch knife from his bag during a Spanish class at Saint Thomas d'Aquin Catholic high school, blocked the door, and allegedly stabbed the 53-year-old instructor in the sternum, authorities say.
"Everything was going normally until a student planted a large knife in the chest of the Spanish teacher," a witness told France Bleu.
"When I looked up, he was already standing with the knife. I didn't really see him get up, but when he stuck the knife he was very calm."
The suspect then took refuge in an adjoining room as students fled in panic and the school was locked down.
Another teacher managed to disarm the suspect and detain him until authorities arrived.
The victim was rushed to hospital in critical condition where she succumbed to her injuries.
