A teenage girl has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following a stabbing incident at Amman Valley School in Carmarthenshire, Wales. The event occurred around 11:15 am on Wednesday, during which two teachers and another teenage pupil sustained stab injuries. Following the attack, the school was immediately locked down.

Emergency services, including two air ambulances, responded promptly, transporting the injured parties to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff for treatment. Superintendent Ross Evans confirmed that the families of the victims had been notified.

The local police and the Dyfed-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner, Dafydd Llywelyn, are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident. Political figures, including Liberal Democrats leader Ed Davey and Home Secretary James Cleverly, have commented on the severity of the situation, though Cleverly reiterated that UK schools are predominantly safe.

The school headteacher commended the students for their composed behavior during the lockdown, highlighting the community’s response under stress. Parents gathered at the school, anxious for updates, but were reunited with their children at the end of the school day. The investigation into the motive and the sequence of events is ongoing.
