A teacher was fatally stabbed on Tuesday by her 17-year-old student in Russia’s Perm region, according to local authorities.
In recent months, Russian authorities have reported several violent incidents in schools, including knife attacks at a university in the Urals and a school in Siberia, as well as an air gun attack in central Russia.
The victim, a teacher born in 1970, was attacked at the entrance of her school in the town of Dobryanka, regional governor Dmitry Makhonin said.
“Unfortunately, despite all the doctors’ efforts, Olesya Petrovna Baguta, a Russian language and literature teacher… could not be saved,” he said in a later message.
Police arrested the suspect, who was identified by Russia’s Investigative Committee as a 17-year-old student at the school.
