Three children have already been transported to the Brest and Saint-Brieuc university hospitals. Four Samu and Civil Security helicopters have already been sent to the scene.

According to a source close to the case, several children “complained of headaches” at the end of the morning. The entire school, which has 76 students and five teachers, was evacuated. To deal with the large number of injured, the NOVI (numerous casualties) plan has already been activated. A medical-psychological emergency unit was also deployed.
