00:00A seven-year-old girl has died and several people injured in a stabbing attack at a school
00:06in the Croatian capital of Zagreb.
00:10Local media stated the attacker entered a classroom where he targeted a teacher and
00:15a number of students, reportedly also injuring himself after attempting to commit suicide
00:20at a nearby emergency room.
00:24Interior Minister Davor Božinović says the suspect, who has been detained by police,
00:30was a 19-year-old male former student of the school who was mentally unstable.
00:35I think I can say at this moment that the person was identified due to mental disorders,
00:47even a year ago he attempted suicide, so this fact that he is still trying to take his life
01:02tells us that it is hard to say that the person was mentally unstable.
01:11Several children have been taken to various hospitals in Zagreb and the teacher and one
01:16of the injured students remain in intensive care.
