Police have detained a 14-year-old pupil after a shooting at a school near Marseille.
The teenage boy taken into custody was carrying a gun and is a pupil of the Joseph Lakanal middle school in Aubagne, where the shooting took place, police said.
A headteacher and a female staff member were shot and wounded with a hunting rifle, the local mayor said.
A supervisor at the school disarmed the 14-year-old before police arrived, Aubagne mayor Jean-Pierre Squillari told reporters.
Both victims were taken to hospital, but neither suffered life-threatening injuries, he added.
