A 13-year-old girl has been charged with three counts of attempted murder after two teachers and a pupil were stabbed at a school.
The three people were treated for stab wounds but have now been released from hospital.
Pupils at Amman Valley School, also known as Ysgol Dyffryn Aman, went into lockdown just after 11.20am on Wednesday following the stabbing at the end of morning break in Carmarthenshire.
Amman Valley School, which is in the town of Ammanford, is a comprehensive with around 1,500 students aged between 11 and 18.
In a statement on the school’s website, headteacher James Durbridge said it had been a “very difficult day” for the school.
“It goes without saying that my thoughts are with the three individuals and their families, who have been affected by today’s incident,” he said.
“I wish to commend all staff and pupils for their calm and mature response during today’s lockdown.
“We are proud to have witnessed pupils embodying the school’s core values while supporting their peers and staff.”
In a statement read outside the school on Thursday, Superintendent Ross Evans, of Dyfed-Powys Police, said: “Two teachers and a pupil were taken to hospital with stab wounds. They have all since been discharged.
“A 13-year-old girl was arrested at the scene. She has now been charged with three counts of attempted murder.”
