Counter-terror police investigating 'deeply traumatic' double stabbing at school
Police will continue to question a 13-year-old boy on suspicion of attempted murder today, as counter-terrorism officers lead an investigation into a double stabbing at a school.
Two boys, aged 12 and 13, are in a serious condition in hospital after Tuesday's attack at Kingsbury High School in Brent, northwest London. Police launched a search for the suspect, and officers later detained a 13-year-old boy.
The investigation is being led by counter-terror police, although a terrorist incident has not been declared. Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams said detectives are "keeping an open mind as to any motivation behind the attack".
Police and ambulance crews were called to reports of a stabbing at the school at around 12.40pm. A search for the suspect - identified as a teenage boy - was launched after it was established he had left the scene.
Simon Theodorou, a parent of a child at the school, told The Telegraph the attacker "managed to get his way in by climbing over a wall". The Metropolitan Police confirmed the boy had been arrested shortly after 6pm, and a weapon was recovered.
He remains in custody, while the two victims are still in hospital. One was taken to a major trauma centre "as a priority.
