In Lens, a high school student had a hand torn off, the IGPN seized

A 15-year-old high school student was injured by a grenade on Monday, October 5, though the exact circumstances remain unclear. The incident occurred during a school day, and the local prosecutor has referred the case to the IGPN (Independent Commission for the Control of the Police), which investigates misconduct by law enforcement officers. The student suffered severe injuries, including the loss of a hand, but further details about the incident, such as who was responsible for the grenade or whether it was intentional, have not been disclosed. The involvement of the IGPN suggests that there may be concerns about police conduct or safety protocols at the school.
