A police investigation into a stabbing at King City Secondary School Friday led to a brief hold and secure situation.
York Regional Police reported that at 11:38 a.m. Oct. 2, they were called to King City Secondary School for reports of a stabbing. Officers arrived and were unable to locate a victim or suspects at first. They eventually located two victims and charged one teen with assault. The suspect in the stabbing has not been located.
Police report that a large group started an altercation off of school property and a 17-year-old male was stabbed. An 18-year-old female tried to intervene and she was assaulted. Police have charged a 16-year-old male with assault and common nuisance cause injury.
The school initiated the hold and secure from roughly noon to 1 p.m., according to Licinio Miguelo, spokesperson at the York District School Board. He said a hold and secure occurs when there is a police presence in the neighbourhood of a school. The doors are locked, but classes and activities carry on as usual inside the school. It’s much different, and less of an emergency, than a lock down.
York Regional Police are still looking for witnesses who haven’t spoken to them about the incident. You are urged to contact the call them at 1-866-876-5423, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS.

The King Township Food Bank (KTFB) is facing an alarming rise in demand for its services, and the organization is calling on the community for urgent support to continue meeting the growing needs of local families. Since its founding in 2004, the food bank has been a vital resource for residents struggling to put food on the table. Despite King Township’s reputation as a wealthy area, food insecurity has long been a reality for many, particularly lower-income families, rural workers, and seniors on fixed incomes. This year, the need has skyrocketed, with the food bank reporting a 66% increase in individuals served since the beginning of 2023.
