During First Minister’s questions earlier today, Nicola Sturgeon said: “May I begin by expressing my shock and sadness at the incident which occurred at Cults Academy.
“I also want to convey my deepest sympathy and condolences to the family and friends of Bailey Gwynne who tragically died in the incident.
“While the circumstances are subject to ongoing and thorough police investigation I’m sure that the whole chamber will want all those who loved Bailey and indeed all those at the school who will have been affected by the charity to know that our thoughts are very much with them at this sad time.”
