An investigation has been opened for violence against a person in charge of a public service mission
," Senlis
public
prosecutor Jean-Baptiste Bladier told AFP. According to the first elements of the investigation, a CPE (principal educational advisor) "
would have been targeted
" in particular, without being injured, he specifies. "
For the moment, we do not know if she was targeted personally or if she was targeted because she was staff of the establishment
", had declared a little earlier the departmental director of public security, Eric Heip. . "
All the staff of the Creil police station are mobilized to identify the perpetrators
". One of the hypotheses considered is that these shots "
could be linked to decisions taken in a disciplinary framework inside the school, a few days ago
"against"
one or more students
", added the prosecutor.
In a joint statement, the rectorate and the prefecture of Oise evoke shots launched by "
several individuals (...) in the direction of a childcare center and the deputy headmaster
" who were "
not affected
".
“
The Particular Safety Plan (PPMS) has been triggered.
Students and staff put to safety,
”they continue in this press release.
In addition to the police officers present on site, "
the rectorate dispatched a mobile academic security team to support the establishment in securing places and people
".
"
Intrusion alert
" device
The rector of the Amiens academy Raphaël Muller and the prefect of the Oise Corinne Orzechowski "strongly
condemn these acts of violence (...) Attacking the public service of education is intolerable
". From the first shots heard, at 12.54 p.m., the management of the Lycée André-Malraux had indicated on social networks that they had set up the "
intrusion alert
" system.
Which implies a temporary ban on access to the establishment and immediate safety for the students. In a video posted on social networks and viewed by an AFP correspondent, several individuals, dressed in black and located on the outskirts of the establishment, accompany a man, himself dressed in black and with a hidden face. The latter launched several mortar shots from the forecourt of the establishment.
