Are you at the scene? Email [email protected] person has been arrested and three people are injured, with one thought to be a teacher, after a 'horrifying incident' at a school in Carmarthenshire, as classrooms remain in 'lockdown'.
Police are not looking for anyone else in relation to the emergency situation and warned people who had shared footage on social media to remove it 'to avoid contempt of court and distressing those affected'. One worried parent said officers would be speaking to classrooms individually before lifting the lockdown.
Carmarthenshire County Council moved to reassured parents to say the incident 'has been contained' and that family members of the injured had been informed. Cllr Davies told Wales Online: I have no confirmation on how serious the injuries are. I send my thoughts to those injured and all the people there. I know how well the school rehearsed lockdown and I am sure everything is under control.'
'Obviously I’ve seen the blue lights, and I know we don’t blue light unless we have to and I’ve seen the air ambulance leave,' she said. Local councillor Rob James said: 'My thoughts are with the headteacher, teaching staff, parents and pupils of Ysgol Dyffryn Aman after today's major incident. One air ambulance is said to have now left the field and is reportedly flying towards the University Hospital in Cardiff. The second remains on site
