Three people were reportedly injured in a stabbing incident at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman, a school in Wales, United Kingdom (UK).
The incident happened on Wednesday but the circumstances that led to the stabbing were not immediately clear.
The Welsh ambulance service said two helicopters were immediately dispatched and delivered “advanced critical care support”.
Two of the injured are believed to be teachers and are said to be receiving treatment.
The police said one person had been arrested.
“We are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident,” the police added.
“Emergency services remain at the scene and the school has been closed while investigations continue.”
In a statement, the school authorities reassured parents and the public that the situation has been “contained”.
School stabbing incidents are rare in the UK, especially for close communities like Ammanford where the institution is situated.
The UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he was shocked by the incident.
“I want to thank the police and emergency services for their ongoing response and my thoughts are with all those affected,” Sunak said.
The police said it would provide an update later.
