The attacker entered the home and then began stabbing children and teachers before fleeing the scene. He was arrested about an hour later at his home, say police. The suspect doesn’t have a criminal record and was not drunk at the time of the attack. Police are investigating the reasons for the attack, spokeswoman Aneta Sobieraj told local television. “Unfortunately, as a result of this incident, a 16-year-old girl, a ward of the orphanage, died on the spot, and five people were hospitalised,” she added. Four of the injured were treated on the spot, she said. Spokesman for the Poviat Headquarters of the State Fire Service Marcin Zwierzak told Kalisz24: “Very preliminary findings show that it was most likely one of the pupils who suddenly attacked the teacher and other residents with a knife.” Some victims were taken to hospital by air ambulance and three are still receiving treatment for their wounds.
