A teen was transported to the hospital after being stabbed by a fellow student at a high school Tuesday morning, according to authorities.
Boston Police say they responded to the Jeremiah E. Burke High School around 10:53 a.m. for a report of a stabbing.
Arriving officers reportedly found a female juvenile victim with injuries that weren’t considered to be life-threatening.
Boston Public Schools says the stabbing stemmed from a fight between two students and that the school was placed in “Safe Mode” for approximately 35 minutes.
“Burke High School, like all schools in the Boston Public Schools, focuses on fostering a safe environment for every member of our community,” said Head of School Amilcar Silva in a letter to the community. “We know incidents like this can cause many to feel anxious, but I want to reassure all members of the Burke High School Community this was an isolated incident between two students, and that we will take every step necessary to ensure that our students feel safe and welcomed.”
