Police have been given more time to question a 15-year-old over the fatal stabbing of teacher Ann Maguire at a Leeds school on Monday.
Current and former pupils have praised a much-loved teacher who was stabbed to death in front of her students.
Paying tribute to Ann Maguire, one teenager told ITV News, "She helped me and I'm on the right pathway, I'm studying acting at Park Lane College now and I'll be going to uni soon."
"Without her I don't know where I'd be," he added.
Although a shocking attack, this is a rare attack. There are few other occasions when a teacher was stabbed inside their school by a pupil.
A 15-year-old schoolboy is in police custody tonight, suspected of stabbing to death his teacher.
