At least nine students were stabbed inside a high school in Murrysville, Pennsylvania Wednesday morning. A suspect has been taken into custody in connection.
The incident occurred at Franklin Regional High School.
It doesn't appear that any of the victims suffered life-threatening injuries. Several helicopters were seen flying people from the scene to area hospitals.
Westmore County emergency officials say the victims are all between 15 and 16 years old.
The school issued a bulletin on its website saying: "A critical incident has occurred at the high school. All elementary schools are canceled, the middle school and high school students are secure. Additional information will be released as soon as possible. Please keep our campus clear of traffic."
The high school was on lockdown, and students were being kept there as a precaution as school and law enforcement officials double-checked the premises. School officials were making arrangements to bus the middle school students home.
Murrysville is about 15 miles east of Pittsburgh.
