A primary school teacher in the southern French town of Albi has been stabbed to death in front of her class by a pupil's mother, police say.
Fabienne Terral-Calmes, 34, was attacked at the Edouard Herriot school on Friday morning. The suspect, 47, was arrested at home shortly afterwards, prosecutors say.
Education Minister Benoit Hamon said she appeared to have a "serious psychiatric disorder", according to initial investigations.
Sending the minister to the scene, President Francois Hollande pledged that all the services of the state would be "mobilised to take care of these children and the staff who witnessed this awful tragedy".
The attack came on the last school day before the summer break, when Ms Terral-Calmes was teaching her class, believed to be aged five to six. She herself was the mother of two young children.
