A knife attack occurs in a Pforzheim school.
The suspected perpetrators seriously injured two students.
The choice of victim should not have been a coincidence.
Pforzheim – Two young men aged 18 and 19 entered a school in Pforzheim on Tuesday afternoon.
There they attacked two 17-year-old students with a knife and then fled.
The two students suffered serious injuries in the attack and were taken to a hospital, according to police and prosecutors.
Unfortunately, this is not the first incident of school violence.
Just recently, an 18-year-old student killed his ex-girlfriend, the same age.

Even though the two alleged perpetrators were initially able to escape, the police located them shortly afterwards and arrested them.
According to a police spokesman, the two initial findings were not students of the Pforzheim school.
However, it is assumed that the victims were not randomly selected by the two alleged perpetrators.
However, it is still unclear what the motive for the attack was.
As well as many other backgrounds to the crime.
These must now be identified, said the police spokesman.
Suspected perpetrators entered Pforzheim school armed with knives
According to the current state of the investigation, the two suspected perpetrators were on a bench with others at 2:30 p.m.
The two then entered the school building armed with the knife and committed the crime.
There was also a knife attack on two schoolgirls aged seven and eight in Berlin last May.
And this despite the fact that the perpetrator had already become conspicuous.
And a 14-year-old attacked two people in a psychiatric hospital.
A seven-year-old died as a result.
