A young person who was not connected to the school sought shelter at Galilée High School in Franqueville-Saint-Pierre, Seine-Maritime, on Thursday, September 17, 2026, while being chased by a man believed to be armed. The incident occurred as the individual ran toward the school, likely seeking safety from the pursuer. The man, however, did not enter the school grounds. Despite this, the school's Protection and Safety Plan (PPMS) was immediately put into action. This plan is designed to ensure the security of students and staff during potential threats, involving measures such as locking down the building, conducting checks, and coordinating with local authorities. Authorities were quickly informed and arrived at the scene to manage the situation. The police conducted a thorough search of the surrounding area to locate the suspect and ensure no threats remained near the school. No injuries were reported among students or staff, and the school was able to resume normal activities after the incident was contained. Such safety protocols are standard in many educational institutions to respond swiftly to potential dangers. The incident highlights the importance of preparedness and the effectiveness of these emergency procedures in protecting the school community.
