A teenage boy is dead following a fatal stabbing Friday at Harding High School in St. Paul, Minnesota.

According to the St. Paul Police Department, the events leading up to the stabbing are still unknown but a 16-year-old student was taken into custody in connection with the attack. A fixed-blade knife was believed to have been used in the attack. No others are believed to have been involved at this time.

Neither the victim nor the suspect has been identified but social media posts indicate that the victim was a 10^th grader. He is the first homicide victim of the year for the city of St. Paul.

As the dad of a St. Paul student, I’m heartbroken for the Harding High School community and the family of a student who lost their life today. We have offered our full support and have been assured that the area is now secure.
