a schoolgirl dies after a cardiac arrest on the sidelines of the attack

A 14-year-old girl, victim of a cardiac arrest during the confinement of her college after the knife attack on Thursday April 18 in Souffelweyersheim (Bas-Rhin), has died, corroborating sources announced to France Télévisions and France Bleu Alsace . “She had been rescued by teachers who very quickly called the fire services. She died at the end of the afternoon”explained to AFP the rector of the academy, Olivier Faron.

The schoolgirl’s discomfort occurred in the middle of the closure of her establishment, decreed after the attack on two little girls aged 7 and 11. In a press release, prosecutor Yolande Renzi clarified how the events unfolded: “A man carrying what could be a knife” first attacked the 11-year-old girl and injured her in the neck as students entered the Dannenberger school. It was at that moment that a person from the establishment raised the alarm, recalls the magistrate.
