A wind of panic then took hold of the room and none of the adults who were supervising the test reacted immediately, according to one of the students, present on the spot and questioned by the Voix Du Nord.

“ There were eight adults in the room. The students got up to go see what he had, they were told to sit down again, to continue the baccalaureate. An adult continued to pass through the ranks to have the attendance sheet signed, while he (the victim) was still on the ground. He no longer spoke, was beginning to turn blue.
