Germany: knife attack at school, 2 girls serious

  A man armed with a knife has launched an attack on a school in Germany, seriously injuring at least two girls.

It happened in Illerkirchberg, south of Ulm, in Baden-Wuertteberg.

According to Bild online, two teenagers aged 13 and 14 were taken to the emergency hospital with serious injuries

The attack on the two teenagers would have taken place on the road to the school, the newspaper writes.

The attacker fled to a refugee reception center soon after, but it is unclear whether he lived in the building.

The police cordoned off the place and did not allow anyone to leave, thus presumably detaining the bomber as well.

The investigations are ongoing.
