“He’s losing consciousness right now. We’re in the main gym,” a female’s voice could be heard over the radio.
“I don’t believe he took the knife into school,” mother Cherelle McLaughlin said.
“I believe he got the knife from somebody in the school because he did not go to school with a knife. I dropped him off at school. He did not go to school with it.”

“The whole situation is terrible,” McLaughlin added.
“I feel bad for the other family, but in return, I feel bad for my son because he was fighting for his life. It wasn’t a fair fight. I just don’t think it should have happened like that,” she said.
“There were a lot of people screaming and crying,” student Daniela Fortin recalled.

“There were a lot of people around him, and they were very concerned about him, and it was very scary,” Fortin said of the boy who passed away, calling the conflict “a very traumatic experience.”
“There were videos of what happened … I don’t know how to explain it, but it was so sad seeing all of the videos,” she said.
The school district plans to review safety protocols following the incident.
“Schools should be a safe haven for our students and staff. What happened here today is unacceptable,” Superintendent Robert Taylor said.
“As superintendent, I can tell you, there is nothing more important than the well-being and the safety of our students.”
