DENVER — A student is in custody after another student was stabbed Thursday afternoon at a school in northeast Denver, the Denver Police Department said.
Police said it happened just before 2 p.m. at Marie L. Greenwood Early – 8 in the Montbello neighborhood. The victim was taken to the hospital. There's no word on how badly they were injured, but police said their condition is stable.
Police said the stabbing happened inside the school, and the suspect was quickly taken into custody by responding officers. They said it appears no other students were involved in the incident.
A spokesperson for Denver Public Schools said the school was placed on lockdown, where all interior and exterior doors are locked, for about three minutes. It was then placed on a hold, which is the same as a lockdown except the students don't have to stay out of sight. That lasted for about an hour until the students were released to their parents.
