Harrowing footage has emerged from inside the school that was locked down on Monday after a teacher was allegedly stabbed. In the footage, a police officer can be heard telling the pupils and a member of staff, who had huddled together in a cupboard, to "stay right at the back".
Police searched the grounds of Tewkesbury School on Monday after the incident. The school, along with two others nearby, were locked down for hours. On Monday police said it was believed the suspect had fled the scene and hidden in the grounds, reports GloucestershireLive.
Gloucestershire Police's Assistant Chief Constable, Richard Ocone, said: "The Academy was locked down and two neighbouring schools were asked to close their doors as a precaution. Our officers, including specialist armed police, attended and carried out a thorough search. This search was both complex and meticulous in nature as we sought to ensure there were no further injured parties as well as seeking the arrest of the suspect."
