The Wilno school massacre was a school shooting that occurred on 6 May 1925 at the Joachim Lelewel High School in Wilno, Poland (now Vilnius, Lithuania). During the final exams, at about 11 a.m., at least two eighth-grade students attacked the board of examiners with revolvers and hand grenades, killing two students, one teacher, and themselves.[1][2]
It was the first-ever school shooting that took place in Poland, preceding the Inowrocław school shooting in April 1936,[3] the Kluczbork School of Economics shooting on December 16, 2001[4] and the Brześć Kujawski school shooting on May 27, 2019.[5]
