UPDATE: Sheffield teenager dies following school stabbing
A teenager has sadly died following a stabbing at a Sheffield school today (Monday 3 February).
At 12.17pm, emergency services were called to All Saints Catholic High School on Granville Road. The victim, aged 15, suffered serious injuries and despite the best efforts of medical personnel was sadly pronounced dead.
A 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody at this time.
Assistant Chief Constable Lindsey Butterfield said: “Our thoughts are with the family of the boy who has sadly lost his life, his friends and the whole school community.
“We know that what has happened will cause significant distress and concern and our officers will remain on scene and in the local area to offer reassurance to parents, staff and local residents as our investigation continues.
“Although we are in the early stages of our enquiries, we are working at pace to build up a full picture of how this tragedy unfolded. We urge anyone with information that would assist us to get in touch.”
Granville Road remains closed from the tram stop to Fitzwalter Road, and we are asking people to avoid the area while emergency services carry out their work.
We urge you to be mindful that there are loved ones at the centre of this grieving the profound loss of a teenage boy in the most devastating of circumstances.
We’d therefore ask for you to avoid online speculation and sharing of content which could be distressing to them and detrimental to our investigation.
