Teen In Life Threatening Condition After Stabbing At Toronto High School Police

It happened around 3:05 p.m. at Birchmount Park Collegiate Institute near Danforth Avenue and Birchmount Road. Police say they located a 17-year-old male in the school office suffering from an apparent stab wound. Police “immediately began lifesaving measures” before paramedics arrived and transported the victim to hospital, where he remains in life-threatening condition, police said. Toronto District School Board (TDSB) community relations officer Ryan Bird confirmed the victim is a student at Birchmount Park. Police are currently clearing the school and assisting in the safe dismissal of students. Police say the investigation is ongoing, however they do not believe there is a concern for public safety. No suspect information has been provided. “We have officers going from room to room to make sure it’s safe. At the same time we also have officers assigned to assist in the safe dismissal of students. They are dismissed on the east side of the school at the entrance [number] four. The parents have been told to settle there, where they can be reunited with their families at that time,” said Toronto duty officer Craig Young at the scene. “At this time we have appointed detectives. Several detectives are here and elsewhere, following the leads of this case.’ Bird said support workers are currently at the school to assist students and staff. “Social workers are on site this afternoon to support everyone affected by what happened here this afternoon. Obviously, our hearts go out to the victim in this and we hope he has a speedy recovery,” Bird added. The high school was initially placed on lockdown after the stabbing, which has since been lifted. It is the second stabbing at the school so far this year. In April, a 14-year-old boy was stabbed outside Birchmount Park Collegiate shortly after students dismissed for the day. The teenager was seriously injured in the incident.
