Drew mentioned that the incident was “not an accidental shooting,” and it also didn’t seem the two knew each other beyond the classroom. The shooting was reported at around 2 p.m., and authorities responded “within minutes”:

The teacher – who was described as being a woman in her 30s – was rushed to a local hospital. At this time, Drew noted in the press conference that her injuries “are still considered life-threatening, but there was some improvement [in] the last update we got.” No students were harmed, and the young child involved in the incident was taken into custody:
Drew applauded the response from the “heroic” faculty and staff members in helping to move the students to the gymnasium and keeping everyone calm. He added:

Alice Diop’s French drama Saint Omer opens in theaters today, and I remember the emotions I felt when I saw the film at Venice last year. It was a very personal experience for me — as if someone was telling my story on screen. At the beginning of my eventual interview with Diop, I asked where she sees herself within the French film industry. She made it clear she has stopped contemplating how she fits in. “It’s a question that I’m asked a lot, but I no longer ask myself where I fit in with French cinema,” she said. Can’t blame her for thinking that way. Creators of color often are asked those questions — or about the state of inclusion in Hollywood and how they would improve it. Questions that their white counterparts frequently and unfairly avoid.
