A student killed a school teacher at the Instituto Joan Fuster in
Barcelona, Spain on Monday.  Reports indicate the student was thirteen

confirmed the cause of death. Two other teachers and two students
received non-life-threatening injuries in the attack. One teacher was
treated for minor injuries on scene, while the other three injured were
treated at Barcelona hospitals.

Police said the motive for the attack has not been established.  The
attack happened on the sixteenth anniversary of the Columbine High
School massacre in the United States.
 
According to Spanish law, the boy, because he is under fourteen years of
age, cannot be held criminally responsible. As a result he cannot be
jailed, but can be institutionalized in a mental health facility and was
sent for psychiatric examinations following the attack.
