Student Killed at Coral Gables Senior High School
Police are currently investigating a death at Coral Gable High School in Florida. WSVN-TV in Miami-Fort Lauderdale reported a student was stabbed to death at the school, and that a suspect has been taken into custody.
From the Miami Herald:
School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said there was an “altercation” sometime after 9 a.m. as students passed between first and second period.
It “escalated into a fight. One student produced a weapon and assaulted another,” he said.
Carvalho did not release any information about the student who was killed.
Police were “able to detain an individual immediately following the incident,” said Detective Alvaro Zabaleta, a Miami-Dade police spokesman.
“This will be a very lengthy and detailed investigation,” Zabaleta said.
Miami-Dade homicide detectives are conducting the investigation at the school, 450 Bird Rd., and homicide detectives were en route.
Students are being advised to remain in school throughout the day, Carvalho said, saying the classroom with teachers and crisis counselors is the best place for them.
However, if parents want to pick up their students, they can go to a pick-up area located near the school’s baseball diamond on Riviera Drive.
From CNN:
“Miami-Dade Schools Police is working with Coral Gables Police following an act of violence against a student” at the high school, Miami-Dade Public Schools said in a statement. “The school is currently on lockdown.”
Two students were fighting in the courtyard area of the school, investigators told WSVN, and one pulled out a switchblade and stabbed the other in the chest. The suspect ran behind a house in the area, where he later was found, police said.
At least four students witnessed the stabbing, WSVN said.
