Surrey News: High school stabbing

Two teenagers have been arrested after the stabbing of a third teenager at a high school in Surrey, British Columbia, Mounties said.

Officers were called to Panorama Ridge Middle School Monday afternoon for reports of a stabbing.

Upon arrival, they found a seriously injured 16-year-old victim. That teenager was taken to hospital after police provided first aid at the scene.

Police did not say whether the victim was a student at the school, but said it appeared they had been in some kind of altercation with two other teenagers before they were stabbed.

According to RCMP, the 16- and 17-year-old suspects were taken into custody near the scene.

They all knew each other, Mounties said.

Officers from the Surrey Youth Division are working with the school and school district to ensure other students and staff are supported “following this traumatic incident,” RCMP said in a media release Tuesday.

Anyone with more information who has not yet spoken to police is asked to call 604-599-0502.
