At least three people were injured after a shooting at a high school in the small southern French town of Grasse, and a 17-year old student carrying a rifle, handguns and grenades was arrested, the interior ministry and police sources added. A second source said it appeared that two students had opened fire on the headmaster, who had been injured, adding that the suspects did not seem to be militants. There was panic and the students took refuge in the (neighboring) supermarket,” said the source. Interior ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet told France Inter radio that three people had been injured, and advised families to remain patient as police took control to stabilize the situation. An eye-witness student in the school interviewed by France Inter radio said the students had heard a bang and taken cover under the tables.
