Dyfed-Powys Police have issued a statement following the incident at Amman Valley school yesterday.
“Dyfed-Powys Police continue to investigate the serious incident that took place at Amman Valley School in Carmarthenshire this morning.
“We received a call just after 11.20am advising us people were injured following an incident at the school.
“Emergency services immediately attended, and the school was locked down for the safety of everyone on the premises.
“Two teachers and a teenage pupil were taken to hospital with stab wounds. Their injuries are not life threatening.
“A teenage girl has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and currently remains in police custody.
“A knife has been recovered as evidence.
“I am aware that there is footage of the incident currently circulating on social media and would ask that this is removed to preserve the integrity of the ongoing investigation, and to avoid further distress to those involved.
“I would also ask that people do not speculate while there is a police investigation ongoing, and to refer to official channels for factual updates.
“Local people will see more police in the area over the coming days as the investigation continues.
“I would like to reassure parents and the public that the incident has concluded, and pupils have now left the school.
“We are working with the school and other agencies to ensure appropriate support is available to all those involved.
“This was a very distressing incident, and our thoughts are with the victims, their family and everyone impacted by what has happened.
“We have set up a dedicated portal, and anyone with information that could help us with our investigation is asked to report it through this link to help police manage the volume of information coming in to us.
“Lastly, I would like to thank the whole community for their support and patience while police, emergency services, Carmarthenshire County Council and the school work through this distressing incident today and over the coming days.”
