Overview
Six people were taken to local hospitals after a reported stabbing at Foss High School in Tacoma, including four students, a security guard and the student suspect in custody, officials said.
The Tacoma Fire Department responded at 1:38 p.m. to a call of a possible stabbing, and four victims were initially transported in critical condition, officials said.
The school went into lockdown, students were released to a reunification area in the student parking lot, and police asked anyone with video to submit it to investigators, officials said.
Initial reports varied, saying roughly five to six people were injured, with four students initially reported in critical condition and others described as having minor injuries, officials said.
Tacoma Public Schools canceled school and after-school activities for May 1 and said counselors would be on site when the school reopens as authorities continue investigating, officials said.
