(NOTE: When someone tells you, “They just need to fight back,” refer them to this story, and others, that feature bullying victims who do just that. With weapons. This story, unfortunately, is quite common, and most of them don’t make the news. I have heard of several incidents like this from my contacts with schools and districts that were not publicized. – Mike)
WINDSOR, Ont. — A student at an Ontario high school is in police custody after allegedly stabbing another student in a fight off school property Monday afternoon.
Teenagers who were gathered outside the school said the altercation between the two Grade 10 students was a planned fight that likely resulted from bullying.
The fight, in front of a crowd of students as school let out, became even more dangerous when one pulled a knife, stabbing the other in the shoulder. Windsor police said the weapon was a folding knife with a blade measuring about eight centimetres.
The injured student returned to the school to seek medical help and was taken to a Windsor hospital.
