Two people have been killed in a violent incident at a private school in Gosen-Neu Zittau, near Berlin. The victims were an 18-year-old student and a 30-year-old man who reportedly died while trying to intervene; police have arrested a male suspect as they investigate the circumstances.

Local reports identify the suspect as a 19-year-old believed to be the student’s former boyfriend, although police have not confirmed the details or whether he attended the school. Classes were cancelled for Friday, but the school will remain open to provide students with a safe place to meet and receive support.
