Police Examine Student’s Background
Initial investigations revealed that the male student involved in the incident had previously been examined, treated, and diagnosed with: "Severe stress reaction and adjustment disorder - mixed behavioral and emotional disorders." Recently, he had shown signs of unstable psychological and emotional state.

Authorities have not indicated any further details about the identities of the injured students.
Police Warn Against Unverified Posts
In light of these developments, the Ho Chi Minh City Police Department urges citizens to refrain from speculating, posting, or sharing unverified information and images, especially personal information of the students involved; and to only obtain information from official channels.
The warning comes amid the circulation of video and information about the incident online. Police have urged the public to avoid sharing material that could expose the identities or personal details of the students involved.
Parents Urged To Monitor Online Activity
At the same time, the police recommend that parents closely monitor and support their children's internet use; regularly understand their children's psychology, relationships, and the content they access online.
If they discover their children are exposed to violent or provocative content, or show signs of psychological distress, families should proactively cooperate with schools and authorities to intervene and provide timely guidance, avoiding unfortunate consequences.
