WASHINGTON TERRACE, Weber County — One student was taken to the hospital Tuesday after they were stabbed during a fight with another student, according to Weber School District.

The district said a T H Bell Junior High Student pulled out a knife and stabbed another during a fight sometime in the morning. The school was then placed on a “hold” protocol, meaning students and staff were asked to remain in place.

It was not made clear where on school grounds the fight took place.


First responders “addressed the situation,” and the student who was stabbed was taken to the hospital with “non-life-threatening injuries,” the district said.

“Law enforcement is currently investigating the incident, and appropriate action will be taken against those involved,” the district said. “We understand that situations like this can be concerning for students and families. Please know that support and resources are available for any student who may need assistance.”

The “hold” was lifted just before noon, the district said, and referred all other inquiries to the Weber County Sheriff’s Office, calling the situation a “criminal matter.”
