Chile School Stabbing: 5 Dead, 4 Injured

0:00It's March 27. You're listening to Canada News today, AI-powered local news. I'm Cory with the story. A tragic stabbing at a school in Northern Chile claimed the life of a 59-year-old supervisor and injured four others on Friday. The attacker, a 12-grade student, targeted three fellow students and two staff members before police arrived and took him into custody. The school in Kalamal was quickly evacuated with all classes canceled. School Governor Ricardo Diaz described the incident as extremely serious, saying it shipped the community to its core since nothing like this had, happened there before. Investigators suspect premeditation after finding excellent liquids on the student, though no motive has surfaced yet. While Chile rarely sees armed school attacks, violence in educational settings has risen lately, including a may shooting that hurt three students and an explosion late last year injuring more than 30 pupils during protests. These are still piecing together details from this latest event.
