Girl, 13, charged with attempted murder after Wales school stabbing
A 13-year-old girl has been charged after three people were stabbed at a high school in south-west Wales.
The girl has been charged with three counts of attempted murder following the incident at Amman Valley School, also known as Ysgol Dyffryn Aman, in Carmarthenshire.
Superintendent Ross Evans said: “I would like to provide an update into the two investigations we are currently running following yesterday’s incident here at the Ysgol Dyffryn Aman.
“As you’ll be aware, there was a multi-agency emergency response to the school at around 11:20am following reports that three people had been injured.
“Two teachers and a pupil were taken to hospital with stab wounds. They received treatment for knife injuries. I am pleased to confirm they have all since been discharged.
“A CID-led investigation was launched and there has continued to be a police presence here at the school today, as we gather evidence.
“A 13-year-old girl was arrested at the scene. I can confirm she has now been charged with three counts of attempted murder.
“Following this, yesterday evening, our control room received a number of calls reporting concerns about messages being shared on social media, which had references to the incident here at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman.
“Officers swiftly carried out the warrant at the home of the person believed to be responsible for this content and a 15-year-old male has been arrested. He also remains in police custody whilst we investigate these allegations.”
