The Carabinieri conducted a computer search of the cell phone of the 13-year-old who yesterday attacked a teacher at a middle school in the Centocelle neighborhood of Rome, and of his mother's cell phone, which contained the credit cards used to purchase the knives.

Investigators also conducted a forensic copy. The goal is to reconstruct the minor's contacts before the attack and determine whether anyone incited him to attack the teacher.

The social media profile the young man had opened, which was followed by four people, will also be analyzed. The 13-year-old, in fact, started a live social media feed before attacking the woman.

After entering the school, the boy went to the bathroom, removed two knives with 20-cm blades from his backpack, and started live streaming on social media with a camera mounted on a helmet. He entered the classroom last and immediately attacked the literature teacher "whom he hated," spraying her with pepper spray and stabbing her three times in the ribs. A classmate, a young man of Congolese origin, then intervened to stop him and prevent him from inflicting further blows.

The teacher, Isabella Marsilio, was taken to Vannini Hospital in a yellow code, in a state of shock but not in danger of dying. She was discharged that afternoon. "I was afraid I was going to die. He stabbed me and remained silent," she said, adding that she "loved" the boy. "I'm deeply sorry to have now understood how strong and profound his suffering was. I'm so sorry if he mistook my teachings for accusations or punishments," Marsilio said, explaining that she wanted to meet him "to hug him."
