"A 13-year-old arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after two boys were stabbed at a school in London is a former pupil who disguised himself in uniform, it has been claimed."
"Sir Keir Starmer called the stabbing an appalling attack during Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday. Schools minister Georgia Gould told Sky News that the government could look at bolstering security in schools in the wake of the stabbing, but ruled out installing metal detectors."
"This continues to be a fast-paced investigation and officers from Counter Terrorism Policing London continue to make inquiries into the circumstances. I can now confirm that the injuries suffered by the two victims, while serious, are thankfully not life-threatening and they remain in hospital in a stable condition. Our thoughts remain with them and their loved ones at this incredibly difficult"
Two boys aged 12 and 13 were stabbed at Kingsbury High School in Brent around 12:40pm on Tuesday. The Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism unit is leading inquiries and a 13-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Police say the suspect fled and remains in custody while officers seek to establish a motive. Both victims are in hospital in stable condition with serious but non-life-threatening wounds. Reports indicate the suspect allegedly climbed a wall to gain entry and wore the school's uniform; one pupil reportedly alerted teachers by pulling the fire alarm. The lower school remained closed and political figures described the attack as appalling while ministers considered bolstering school security but ruled out metal detectors.
