POLICY WIRE — Bistrița, Romania — Romanian authorities have placed a 13-year-old student under investigation following a knife assault that left both a teacher and a fellow pupil wounded on Monday.
Law enforcement officials are currently reviewing local media reports suggesting the seventh-grader published details regarding his intentions on social media shortly before the incident occurred.
Investigators note that the juvenile suspect previously lived in Spain before returning to Romania several years ago to attend the school in Bistrița.
While domestic outlets point to online activity surrounding the assault, independent verification of those specific social media posts has not been established.
