The students have been confined since Thursday morning to the Aturri college in Saint-Pierre d’Irube, which welcomes 700 children south of Bayonne (Pyrénées-Atlantiques), reports France Bleu Pays Basque. “Two people would have entered” in the establishment, explains the sub-prefect of Bayonne, Philippe Le Moing-Surzur. A special safety plan (PPMS) was therefore triggered to ensure the protection of staff, teachers and students. The gendarmes were still intervening at 12:30 p.m.

“The police apply the defined protocol in the event of an intrusion into a school”, explains the sub-prefect. No shots were fired, according to information from France Bleu Pays Basque. At this stage, “The first floor and the ground floor have been explored and the two people who would have entered have not been found. Reconnaissance of the basement of the building is underway. As soon as the reconnaissance operations are completed, the children can be evacuated to safety and will be returned to their parents. “

The prefecture asks families not to go there but parents, worried, are present near the college. A telephone number has been set up by the national education services: 05.59.82.22.01. No student has been evacuated for the moment but some who returned for example from an activity at the swimming pool were stopped before returning to college, said the sub-prefect of Bayonne.
