Two teachers injured in stun gun attack

A female teacher had her jaw broken and a male colleague was shocked with a 950,000-volt stun gun in an attack at the gates of their school.

The teacher was electrocuted with an Viper Defender gun, which is illegal in Britain, outside Ashton Park comprehensive school, Bristol, at lunchtime on Thursday. The other teacher was punched in the face when she tried to help him. Acting Detective Inspector Guy Worrall said: "The attacker possibly had some connection with either a former pupil or current pupil. He called the teacher's name then ran after him before using a stun gun on his back. The teacher felt a sharp pain and was then punched several times before falling over a wall into a garden."

The attacker, aged 16 to 20, and an associate drove off in a black Vauxhall Corsa with tinted windows.
