SURREY (NEWS1130) – A boy is in the hospital after being stabbed at his school in Surrey this afternoon. It happened during a fight in shop class at Princess Margaret Secondary.
There’s no word on what started the fight between two grade 12 boys. One of them was stabbed and is in serious condition. Surrey RCMP say the other took off before police could arrive.
Sgt. Dale Carr says the suspect turned himself in. “He attended his home and then he phoned the Surrey RCMP and advised us that he was at his home and in fact, we were just on our way to that residence as well. He did the right thing.”
The Surrey School District says counselling is being made available for students and staff.
Doug Strachan with the district says parents have been told about the incident. “It’s a great school community, great staff. There’s a lot at that school for the students and staff to be proud of. This is the only such incident I can recall in some eleven years at the district. It’s unfortunate and we’re all anxious to hear how the boy is doing.”
