Counter-terrorism officers have swooped in on a shocking double stabbing at a north London secondary school. A 13-year-old boy is in custody, arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following the violent attack.
Two Boys Seriously Injured in Kingsbury High Horror
The terrifying attack unfolded just after 12.30pm on Tuesday at Kingsbury High School in Brent. Two pupils, aged 12 and 13, were stabbed and suffered serious injuries. One victim was rushed to a major trauma centre, with both still fighting for recovery.
Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams confirmed a weapon has been recovered, and no further suspects are being sought. He stressed that despite counter-terror police now leading the inquiry, the incident has not been officially declared a terrorist attack — but all motives remain under investigation.
“At this very early stage, we’re keeping an open mind as to any motivation behind this attack,” said Williams. “Due to the surrounding circumstances, the investigation is now being led by officers from Counter-Terrorism Policing London.”
Emergency Response and School Lockdown
London Ambulance Service deployed an impressive response: multiple ambulance crews, advanced paramedics, tactical units, and a trauma team from the London Air Ambulance arrived on scene. Kingsbury High was swiftly placed into lockdown with no entry or exit allowed as emergency services tackled the scene.
Authorities have yet to reveal if the boys and the suspect know each other or if all attend Kingsbury High. They continue to explore whether ideological motives played a role, with counter-terror officers leading the charge to uncover every detail.
