One student at Kosciusko Junior High School was transported by EMS to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and another has been charged with aggravated assault following an incident at the school on Friday, Dec. 10.
According to Police Chief Chris Wray, his department received a call around 11:36 a.m. regarding an altercation between two juvenile students, one a male, the other a female at the Kosciusko Junior High School. Names of both students are being withheld due to their ages.
The female juvenile was reportedly transported by EMS for non-life-threatening injuries after the male student reportedly stabbed her with a pencil.
The KPD released a statement on its Facebook page, stating it “will not release the names of the parties involved due to their juvenile status, and this is still an ongoing investigation. If more information can be released at a later time, we will do so.”
The male juvenile is being charged with aggravated assault through the juvenile court system, according to the police chief.
Kosciusko Junior High School Principal Logan Cheek said the altercation only involved those two students and no one else was harmed.
“We resolved it as quickly as possible,” said Cheek. “The safety of all the children was immediately the concern of everyone, and it was upheld.”
