A high school male student has stabbed a female elementary student on school campus grounds at Tamshui. Both were wounded during the attack.
At 7 am on June 11, a high school male student in New Taipei City's Tamshui District, stabbed a third grader female student in the back with a knife for unknown reasons while she was taking her body temperature before entering the school campus. The girl sustained a 4 centimeters wound in her back.
All of a sudden, that high school student just came over and stabbed the girl. Of course the teachers restrained him immediately and called the ambulance to send them both to the hospital.
The high school student has also sustained knife wounds in his hand, therefore the school called 119 immediately and had them both sent to the hospital by ambulances. The school said the middle school and high school students are not permitted to enter the elementary campus. Tighter control will be exercised following the attack while the police is investigating if this is a random crime or there is a motive involved.
According to his counseling record, it shows that his performance is normal and that he is an introvert. We've also conducted a psychological examination when he enrolled in the school and the result was normal, therefore the school is baffled.
The counseling department in the school has initiated related counseling measures and retrieved counseling records in order to find out the reason behind the attack. The Military Instructors' Office will assist in reinforcing the campus security.
