Grasse, Mar 16 (IBNS): The French Government has issued an alert on terror attack after a shooting took place in a school of Grasse in the French Riviera on Thursday, according to a media report.

The report states that a student entered the school with guns, rifle and grenades and opened the fire that injured several other students and the headmaster.

Following the attack, French government issued an alert on terror attack though the police officials said that the incident had no link with terrorism.

A student of the college after the attack, told France Info: "I was in English class. We heard a gunshot. We didn't think it was an attack.We had the reflex to go under the tables. I went to shut the windows and a guy looked at me in the eyes. He looked like another student. He wasn't very tall. He shot in the air and then ran away. We stayed inside the classrooms until the police emptied the two floors."

Students of all schools of Grasse were confined to the indoors.

The incident occurred shortly after the letter attack, that took place at International Monetary Fund's (IMF) office in Paris.
