Teacher stabbed to death at Leeds school

A teacher has been stabbed to death in front of pupils inside a school in Leeds.

Spanish teacher Anne Maguire, 61, was taken to hospital following the attack but later pronounced dead.

A 15-year-old boy was detained by teaching staff at Corpus Christi Catholic College and later arrested.

A pupil at the scene told the BBC that children were seen screaming and running from a classroom following the attack.

Despite our best endeavours, the unthinkable will still happen on rare occasions and all we can do is deal with things as best we can.

May Mrs. Maguire sleep well.

One hopes that the Catholic Authorities will be providing them with quality PTSD counselling. They will need it.
