According to French government spokesperson Olivier Veran, the 50-year-old female instructor passed away from wounds caused by the 16-year-old attacker.
According to media, the attacker was a teenager with mental health issues who stabbed the teacher in the chest and claimed to be “possessed.”

According to the local prefecture, the incident happened at the Saint-Thomas d’Aquin high school in the Pyrenees-Atlantiques area of southwestern France.
Veran expressed his sympathies to the victims of the tragedy.
“I can hardly imagine the trauma that this can represent, locally and more generally on a national scale,” Veran told journalists Wednesday, adding on Twitter that there are “no words to describe the tragedy.”
According to a tweet from the French minister of education, he will be “without delay” at the scene.
