The video was posted on social media - Hard images
Shock has been caused in France by a video posted on social media showing a 15-year-old student pointing a gun at his teacher, shouting "lower your head". All this in the classroom.
The incident happened on Thursday morning at a high school in Creteil. The 15-year-old and his company entered the classroom, where the teacher was already there. The video shows the boys laughing as the teacher tries to keep her composure and obeys orders.
After the incident, the teacher informed the authorities, with the teenager going to the police station a little later with his father. The young man insisted that the gun was fake and that it was just a joke, with no intention of intimidating the teacher.
The latter filed a lawsuit for "violent threat with the use of a weapon", which carries a prison sentence of up to five years.
