"The man charged at the [armed] teacher, stabbing him in the arm and the teacher shot him,” Sello said. She said the man was certified dead on the scene and the teacher was taken to a local hospital for medical treatment. Sello said police are investigating two cases – an inquest [into the death of the man] and the other of trespassing and assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
