Zagreb — A seven-year-old girl was killed and eight others injured in a knife assault at an elementary school in Croatia’s capital, Zagreb. The 19-year-old assailant, a former pupil, invaded a first-grade classroom at Prečko Elementary School early Friday morning and stabbed the teacher and several children with a knife, according to CNN affiliate N1. Helicopters have been taking the injured to hospitals throughout the city. According to Sveti Duh Hospital, the teacher suffered life-changing injuries and is in serious condition.
