A principal and two others have been shot by a student at a high school in southern France, police say.
The armed 17-year-old — identified as the son of an ultra-conservative local councillor — was arrested after the shooting, which happened at the Alexis de Tocqueville school in the town of Grasse, about 40 kilometres from the southern city of Nice.
France’s Government sent out a mobile phone app alert warning of a possible terrorist attack after police initially reported that shots had been fired.
But authorities have since said they believe there is no reason to suspect the attack was related to terrorism.
A police official said in addition to the three wounded in the shooting, five other people were being treated for shock. None of the injuries were life-threatening.
