An 18-year-old student killed two people and injured another in a knife attack at a Slovakian high school.

An 18-year-old student killed a 51-year-old deputy principal and an 18-year-old student, both female, and critically injured another student at a high school in Spisska Stara Ves, northern Slovakia. The attacker, also an 18-year-old male student, was detained shortly after the knife attack. This incident of serious violence is rare in Slovakia, a country of 5.4 million people. President Peter Pellegrini condemned the attack, calling it a "real tragedy." Authorities are looking into ways to prevent future such incidents.
