Poland: 17-year-old arrested for planning attack on teachers

A 17-year-old student in the Żnin district of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship has been arrested for allegedly planning to murder two female teachers. According to the Bydgoszcz District Prosecutor's Office, the suspect, identified as Emilia G., took concrete steps to prepare for the attack between October 18 and October 22.

Investigators found that the teenager possessed two knives: one kept at her residence and another carried in her backpack. Following her arrest on October 22, a court granted a motion for three months of temporary detention. The suspect faces potential prison sentences ranging from two to 15 years.

This incident follows a recent series of violent events and security concerns within Polish schools, including previous investigations into students carrying dangerous objects or making threats.
