Several students were injured at a school in the western German city of Wuppertal. A suspect has been arrested, a police spokesperson in Düsseldorf said.
More and more SEK units are coming in at the moment! Although the perpetrator was overpowered, the police want to rule out that there are other perpetrators or that there is danger. This is how long students stay in their completed lessons. #wuppertal #amok #school pic.twitter.com/GEsgb9JGR1
