14-year-old suspect in Aubagne school shooting moved to pre‑trial detention in Paris

A 14‑year‑old student who fired a shotgun at Joseph‑Lakanal collège in Aubagne, wounding the principal and a teacher, has been transferred from Marseille to Paris and placed in pre‑trial detention. The national anti‑terrorist prosecutor’s office took over the investigation, classifying the attack as a terrorism‑related offence and opening a judicial inquiry. The teenager admitted the facts of the shooting and said he acted out of revenge for perceived bullying, while digital analysis of his devices suggests a possible link to an online community that glorifies extreme violence. Authorities are also investigating how the firearm was obtained, with the boy’s parents placed in custody.
