  • A teacher was stabbed outside the Istituto comprensivo on Via Damiano Chiesa in Trescore Balneario around 7:45 Wednesday, just before the school day began.
  • The victim, a French teacher, is in very serious condition after a 118 air ambulance flew her to Papa Giovanni XXIII hospital in Bergamo for emergency surgery.
  • Early reports identify the suspected attacker as a third-year middle-school boy, with key details such as motive still unconfirmed.
  • Carabinieri and local police responded to the scene and opened an investigation as they worked to secure the area and gather evidence.
  • Coverage differs on the teacher’s age, with reports citing either 57 or 58, though all agree the assault happened outside the campus before classes.
