PARIS — A 13-year-old French boy stole his father’s hunting rifle and took it to school with the intention of shooting his teachers, but his family and police intervened before anyone was hurt, police said.

The boy — a student at a Roman Catholic school in Beauvais, north of Paris — had posted an entry on his blog suggesting he wanted to commit suicide and carry out a massacre, police and gendarmes said. His parents noticed the gun was missing and alerted police.

One police official suggested the boy may have been feeling desperate about his bad grades.
