Schoolboy, 15, screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ as he shoots his teacher with BB gun in class is arrested by French police and admits he intended to ‘die a martyr’ after being radicalised

15-year-old has been arrested for screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ and shooting his teacher with a BB gun after devising a plan to kill his literature tutor and die a martyr, it has been claimed.

A week after hatching his plan, the teenager brought a knife and airsoft gun and grenade to Oehmichen Technical School in the city of Chalons-en-Champagne, France.He left his physics class to go and kill his literature teacher before changing his mind, returning and shooting his physics teacher with the BB gun.

Giving himself up, the student then let all the pupils in the class leave before phoning police himself and being taken into custody.

Christian de Rocquigny, the prosecutor of Chalons-en-Champagne in France’s north east, said that the authorities were now investigating how he became radicalised. Mr de Rocquigny said: ‘He told investigators that he had a plan for one week, in which he was to stab his French professor and steal the car of his physics teacher under threat before ramming the car in the gendarmerie to die a martyr. He just gave his French teacher a sheet of paper containing a knife, then brandished a gun before returning to his physics class to shoot at the teacher.’

If my French is correct then according to Le Parisien the boy is now being treated in hospital as a psychaitric patient.
