A student was stabbed and another arrested at a Fitchburg, Massachusetts, school on Wednesday, the town's mayor said.
The stabbing at Goodrich Academy appeared to be targeted, and the student who was hurt and rushed to a nearby hospital has injuries that aren't life threatening, Mayor Sam Squailia said in a post on social media.
The 15-year-old student who was taken into custody was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, Squailia said. While police were continuing to investigate, she said, there was no longer believed to be a threat to other students.
The school was briefly placed on lockdown, and students were eventually dismissed around 3 p.m. An ambulance, police cars and a fire truck were seen outside the school Wednesday afternoon.
NBC10 Boston has reached out to Fitchburg police for information.
