A 13-year-old student at a middle school in Centocelle, Rome, stabbed his teacher during class on Friday. Video footage showing the preparation and attack was shared online, according to multiple Italian news outlets. The boy filmed himself in the school bathroom, where he concealed two knives measuring 20 centimeters each under his shirt and carried an anti-itch spray. He wore a cyclist’s helmet with a camera attached using tape, along with softair goggles and gloves. In the video, he walked through the corridors with the knives visible before entering the classroom and attacking the teacher. A classmate intervened to stop him and disarmed him. The incident occurred after the student posted a countdown and message in a private chat hours earlier. The messages were later published by newspapers including Il Messaggero and Repubblica. The video shows the student preparing for the assault, walking through the school halls, and ultimately striking the teacher. The school involved is the Giovanni Verga institute in Centocelle. Details about the student's motivations have not been confirmed, though some reports suggest he may have been influenced by extremist ideologies. The video has since circulated on social media platforms.
