At least three people were injured after a shooting at a high school in the small southern French town of Grasse, and a 17-year old student carrying a rifle, handguns and grenades was arrested, the interior ministry and police sources added. The 17-year-old student toted a notable arsenal (a rifle, some handguns, and two grenades), and investigators believe he “had consulted American-style mass killing videos.”

French Education Minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem has praised the school’s headmaster as “heroic” for rushing towards the student when he began firing, sustaining a gunshot wound in the process. Schools in the small town of Grasse were placed under lockdown after Wednesday's incident at the Tocqueville high school, Emmanuel Ethis, the regional educational chief, said on Twitter.
