Newport High School faced a lockdown as three teachers were assaulted by an ex-student, prompting police intervention and emergency procedures.
Newport: So, there was this crazy situation at Newport High School. They had to lock down the whole place because a former student attacked three teachers. Can you believe that?
Emergency services rushed over on Tuesday after reports of the assault. Apparently, some school property and cars got damaged too. It’s just wild.
Two teachers got minor injuries, but one had to go to the hospital just to be safe. The school quickly kicked in their emergency procedures and locked everything down while they sorted it out.
They posted on Facebook, saying they did this to keep the students safe. The police showed up to help out, which is good to know.
There were some rumors flying around about a knife being involved, but the school said there’s no evidence of that. They’re taking safety seriously and are looking into what more they can do to prevent stuff like this from happening again.
Gwent Police confirmed the details, saying the ex-pupil caused damage and assaulted the teachers. They’re still investigating, so hopefully, we’ll get more clarity soon.
