Student Killed in Suspected Random Stabbing Attack on BC High School

One female student is dead and another is seriously injured after a stabbing at a school in Abbotsford, BC on Tuesday. A suspect has been arrested.

The National Post reported that the incident occurred Tuesday afternoon at a secondary school when reports of a suspicious person were received by police. Police Chief Bob Rich said during a news conference that the suspect doesn't appear to have any connection to the students. According to reports, the incident occurred outside on the grounds of the school in front of a number of students and faculty. The man in question was tackled by teachers and was immediately taken into custody after police arrived, while the victims were transported to a nearby hospital. A lockdown of the school commenced, later followed by an evacuation. A search of the school was conducted and no other suspects were arrested. A six-second video of the incident has surfaced online. The video shows a man in a grey T-shirt standing over a woman and swinging a knife, while another tries to flee. The man eventually drops the knife when approached by another person and backs away from the body. Police have asked that the video not be shared out of respect for the victim's family.
