A student eyewitness to Monday's
knife attack against a teacher at a school near Milan described
the incident as a 'scene out of America'.
"When I realized that we were evacuating and one of our
classmates was thought to be armed with a gun, I thought, 'so it
happens here too, not just in America," said the student
representative at the school in Abbiategrasso where a
16-year-old student stabbed and injured 52-year-old Elisabetta
Condò before turning a fake gun against the class.
Another eyewitness said the assailant "hit the teacher from
behind, in the shoulder, in the arm, without screaming, without
saying anything".
"He was not agitated, he seemed to have no emotions.
"Then I saw him raise a gun as the teacher was being escorted
out of the room, and I immediately ran away along with everyone
else," said the classmate.
