A Tennessee high school teacher was set on fire by one of her students, cops said.
WATE reports that Gabriela Penalba, 23, turned her back
to her class on Monday morning at West High School in Knoxville when a
15-year-old male student set her hair and shirt ablaze using his
lighter, police said.
Students quickly put the fire out.
Gawker notes
that the student allegedly "exploited the commotion" by throwing the
lighter out the window and fleeing before being captured by police.
The quick thinking of her students helped Penalba avoid any burns, according to WBIR.
The student faces aggravated assault and evading arrest charges.
His name has not been released because he's a minor and has not been charged as an adult.
