A special needs teacher injured in a stabbing at a Welsh secondary school suffered “four quite deep stab wounds”, her husband has said.
Liz Hopkins, 57, was taken to hospital after the attack, which happened at Amman Valley School in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, on Wednesday.
Fiona Elias, a fellow teacher, was also injured, along with a pupil, after chaos erupted at the end of morning break.
Mrs Hopkins was airlifted to hospital following the attack. She and the other victims have since been discharged.
Speaking to The Telegraph on Thursday, her husband John, who also works at the school, said it would take a “fair few weeks” for her to recover.
“She’s seriously hurt,” he said. “She’s recovering now, but it’s going to take quite a while. She’s very badly injured. Four quite deep stab wounds, but they missed anything vital. It’s going to take a fair few weeks for the wounds to heal.
“I work with her. It was quite frightening. I’d rather not go into it. She went off in the helicopter [to the hospital] and I drove there.
“At the time they thought it could be life-threatening, but not once they did all the tests on her. I was worried. She’s very shaken, very concerned about the kids that were around and the other members of staff and children who were there.”
