Last year, several European countries saw attacks by students on their classmates, some of which ended tragically. Recently, an investigation was launched in Hungary against a 17-year-old student who threatened to carry out a shooting at a school. In January, an attack with a knife occurred in a school in the town of Spišská Stará Ves in Slovakia, near the Polish border, resulting in the deaths of two people.
