A teenager has died after being fatally stabbed at a school in Sheffield, as police arrest a 15-year-old boy on suspicion of murder.
The male victim, also 15, was rushed to hospital with ‘serious injuries’ after the attack at All Saints Catholic High School where police were called to the school at 12.17pm today.
Emergency services, including paramedics and an air ambulance, raced to the scene on Granville Road as classrooms were plunged into lockdown with school grounds closed in the aftermath.
The teenage victim was later confirmed to have died from his injuries shortly before 4pm.
It has been claimed that the schoolboy was ‘stabbed three times’ by a fellow student he had ‘shared threatening messages with.’
A local youth, 18, who has friends at the school said the incident came after the two students had sent each other menacing messages.
‘I’ve heard it happened after they were sending threatening text messages. The boy got stabbed three times and was carried in a stretcher,’ a youth said.
‘I live locally, there was the incident a few days ago but I’ve not heard of anything else here.’
