Sheffield: A 15-year-old boy has died after being stabbed at school. This happened at All Saints Catholic High School in South Yorkshire. The police reported a “serious incident” earlier today. Parents were informed that students would be released when police allowed it.
The stabbing occurred around 12:17 PM. Another teenage boy has been detained by the police. Sadly, the victim died shortly after the incident.
South Yorkshire Police Assistant Chief Constable Lindsey Butterfield spoke outside the police headquarters. She expressed sadness over the teenager’s death following the stabbing at the school.
The school was put on lockdown. Emergency services arrived quickly at All Saints Catholic High School on Granville Road. Despite the ambulance service’s efforts, the 15-year-old boy suffered serious injuries and died soon after.
