RCMP are investigating a stabbing near Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School.

In a letter that went out to parents Thursday afternoon, it’s stated by the school that an altercation took place between two students off school property resulting in one of them being stabbed.

Once the two students returned to the school, staff responded and the Red Deer RCMP were contacted.

After being placed in a hold and secure status as a precaution, classes resumed as normal.

RCMP confirmed Thursday afternoon that they were called at about 12:50 p.m.
