A 15-year-old boy was hospitalized with serious injuries after being stabbed at All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield on Monday around midday.
The attack shocked the school and local community, prompting immediate action from emergency services.
Emergency Response and School Lockdown
Emergency responders, including an air ambulance, rushed to the scene on Granville Road.
Classrooms were placed under lockdown, and the school grounds were closed as authorities worked to contain the situation.
The victim was quickly transported to the hospital with serious injuries.
South Yorkshire Police confirmed that a 14-year-old boy was detained in connection with the stabbing.
Officers remained on-site to investigate, while Granville Road was closed to the public.
Authorities urged everyone to avoid the area to allow emergency services to do their work.
No Ongoing Risk to Students
Police reassured parents that there was no further threat to students.
The school sent out a message informing families that students would only be released once police gave permission.
This marked the second lockdown in less than a week, following a “stay put” order issued on January 29 due to threats of violence between a small group of students.
Fortunately, no injuries or violence occurred during the earlier incident.
Community Reaction and Concerns
Parents and community members expressed concern over the events, especially after the recent lockdown.
One parent, wishing to remain anonymous, shared their fears, saying, “This is frightening to hear so soon after a previous incident, and I hope everyone is okay.”
The parent added that while it wasn’t the time for blame, the school would have serious questions to answer in the coming days.
As the investigation continues, the community waits for more details on what led to the attack.
