400 students from the Jacques Brel college in Vesoul were evacuated. The shell had been brought to the establishment by a 3rd grade student.
Colmar mine-clearers intervened and the shell was neutralized shortly before noon. The students were able to return to their classes, said the Haute-Saône academy inspector, Philippe Destable. “We don’t know what went through his mind, it’s a big mistake,” declared Destable, specifying a disciplinary procedure would be initiated.
