A
15-year-old has been arrested for screaming 'Allahu Akbar' and shooting
his teacher with a BB gun after devising a plan to kill his literature
tutor and die a martyr, it has been claimed.
A
week after hatching his plan, the teenager brought a knife and airsoft
gun and grenade to Oehmichen Technical School in the city of
Chalons-en-Champagne, France.
He
left his physics class to go and kill his literature teacher before
changing his mind, returning and shooting his physics teacher with the
BB gun.

Giving
himself up, the student then let all the pupils in the class leave
before phoning police himself and being taken into custody.
Christian de Rocquigny, the prosecutor of Chalons-en-Champagne in France's north east, told the International business times authorities were now investigating how he became radicalised.
Mr de
Rocquigny said: 'He told investigators that he had a plan for one week,
in which he was to stab his French professor and steal the car of his
physics teacher under threat before ramming the car in the gendarmerie
to die a martyr.
'He
just gave his French teacher a sheet of paper containing a knife, then
brandished a gun before returning to his physics class to shoot at the
teacher.'
France
is reeling from a spate of extremist attacks in recent months -
including the January Charlie Hebdo shooting which killed 12.
In
August, a group of men were hailed as heroes for their work in
preventing another possible massacre by subduing a men who opened fire
on a train.
Four people were injured in the attack, though none fatally.
In the days folloing, the group of men who stopped the attacker were awarded the Legion of Honour, France's highest decoration.
Spencer Stone, and Anthony Sadler, both 23, joined 22-year-old Alek Skarlatos in jumping on the attacker when his gun jammed.
