Three victims of Ammanford school stabbing are released from hospital: Two ... trends now
Three victims of a school stabbing have now been released from hospital - as the brother of a hero teacher who disarmed the teenage girl suspect revealed he wants to return to work.
Darrel Campbell rushed towards the suspected attacker and put her in an armlock after yesterday morning's horrific attack at Amman Valley School in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire.
Two teachers were injured - including one allegedly stabbed in the neck - as well as a pupil. The teachers injured in the attack are reported to be Fiona Elias, the deputy head, and Liz Hopkin, a special needs teacher.
A Dyfed-Powys Police spokeswoman confirmed today that the victims have now been discharged.
Carmarthenshire Superintendent Ross Evans said: 'As can be expected with an incident as serious as this, there will continue to be a police presence at the school throughout the day today.

'Officers at the scene will be looking for evidence to assist the investigation, while other specialist teams will analyse any information submitted through our dedicated web page.
'We understand the level of concern in the community as people try to process the incident.
'We urge anyone affected by yesterday's events to seek support, and not to share any videos, photos or information that might cause further distress to pupils or parents at the school.'
Darrel Campbell, the teacher who restrained the alleged Ammanford school attacker, does not think of himself as a hero, his brother has insisted.
Mr Campbell disarmed the alleged attacker and put her in an armlock ahead of emergency services arriving at the school.
Cefin Campbell, the Senedd member for Mid and West Wales, said: 'He's embarrassed by all the attention that he's had, he certainly doesn't consider himself a hero in any way.
'He just told me he just did what most people would have done - he acted instinctively, he saw the danger and took action.
'He really wants to play down anything more than just being a normal citizen, albeit a teacher in a school facing a very challenging situation.'
