A 19 year old student dies after a violent altercation in an Italian school prompting an investigation into the motives behind the attack.

Tragic Incident in Italian School

A deadly act of violence shocked the community of La Spezia after a confrontation between students inside a school resulted in the death of a 19 year old student.

Confrontation Turns Violent

The incident unfolded during the school day when a heated verbal exchange between 2 students escalated into a brutal attack. An 18 year old reportedly assaulted his 19 year old classmate with a sharp object inside a classroom.

Victim Succumbs to Injuries

The wounded student was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Despite the efforts of medical staff, he passed away from his injuries a few hours later the same evening.

Authorities Investigate Motive

Italian authorities are examining every possible scenario to understand what triggered the attack. Early indications point to a personal dispute with strong emotional tension. Police sources state that the knife used in the assault did not originate from the school but was brought from the home of the alleged attacker.
