A male teacher in Barcelona, Spain, was shot and killed with a crossbow this morning, allegedly by a 13-year-old boy.

First reports say the boy, who was also armed with a knife, injured a teacher and her daughter (who was a pupil in her class) and when a male supply teacher came to their rescue, he was shot and killed with a crossbow.

The incident happened at the Instituto Joan Foster. It's not known if the suspect was a pupil at the school. The age of criminal responsibility in Spain is 14.

The boy, reportedly aged 13, arrived late for school and when a female teacher opened the door he reportedly fired the crossbow at her face.

He then shot at her daughter, a pupil in the class, then shot and killed instantly a male teacher at point blank range in the chest, who had rushed in to help. Then went i to another class and threatened another student with a knife. None of the injured are serious. The boy is in detention but can't be charged.
