2 Stabbed At PG County High School: Police

CAPITOL HEIGHTS, MD -- Two students have been stabbed at Central High School in Capitol Heights on Thursday morning, police say.

WJLA's Brad Bell tweeted that "as many as 3 students cut or stabbed," and police tweeted at 9:24 a.m. that they were on the scene of an assault involving a knife. However, in an update an hour after the incident, Prince George's County Police Chief Hank Stawinski told the media at the scene that the situation has stabilized and none of the injuries are life-threatening, and only two had been stabbed.

The incident happened shortly after 9 a.m. when three students got into an argument, prompting one of them to pull out a small knife and stab the other two.

The wounds are "not life-threatening but it is a serious matter that this occurred in the school," Stawinski said.

The student with the knife turned himself in to school leadership, and police are talking to him, he added. The two students who were wounded were taken to the hospital for treatment.
