The 14-year-old schoolboy who shot a principal and a teacher in Aubagne (Bouches-du-Rhône) will be presented this Wednesday morning to the anti-terrorism justice system with a view to his possible indictment, AFP learned from a source close to the case.

The teenager, suspected of being part of a movement fascinated by mass killings, the “True Crime Community” (TCC), will be referred to the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office (Pnat) during the day, according to this source.

The investigation is open for “attempted assassinations in relation to a terrorist enterprise, terrorist criminal conspiracy with a view to crimes against persons and offenses against weapons legislation, in relation to a terrorist enterprise”. The suspect could then be presented to an investigating judge with a view to possible indictment.
