Altercation leads to assault, stabbing at KCSS


By Mark Pavilons
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.
