“All of the sudden we just hear the kids screaming and running,” Blunt said. “We were like what’s going on what’s going on. And they said a little girl got stabbed so we all run out here to see what’s going on and it was a guy with some blue shorts on.”

The school was immediately put on lockdown, and security personnel from neighboring schools came to secure the area. 

The school principal said that the school will have extra security in the coming days when students are outdoors.
