Woman Wounds Three in Third Poland School Attack

A 21-year-old woman injured three people Saturday inside a higher education institution in Warsaw, police said. It was Poland's third school attack in less than a week.

3 victims, aged 17, 17 and 24; none had life-threatening injuries.
9 people injured Wednesday by a 19-year-old at a vocational school.
1 custodian killed Thursday by a 15-year-old at his former school.
76 people detained and nearly 50,000 schools checked, police said.

Why it matters: School violence by minors is new in Poland, and the attacks have disrupted schools across the country. On Friday, 59 schools suspended classes, and many parents kept children home.

Rumors of coordinated attacks on a so-called bloody Friday spread online and in media.
The government says it found no evidence of an internet challenge promoting attacks.
