Glad to see that no one was hurt. First time I have ever heard of a preschool being taken hostage by a teenager dual-wielding swords. Crazy stuff to say the least.
Officials said the young man turned up at the Charles Fourier nursery shortly before 9 a.m. (1 a.m. ET) brandishing two swords and mumbling that he "wanted something."
...
He initially took around 20 children hostage, later releasing around 14 of them, and finally letting the last half dozen go free just before 1 p.m.
...
Five or six children and the teacher were believed to be still in the preschool when the officers entered around lunchtime, Fousseret said.
...
The children, aged four to six, were wrapped in green wool blankets and carried away by relatives who had waited anxiously outside as police negotiated with the hostage-taker by telephone.
