On February 3rd, 2011, a tragic incident occurred at Friern Barnet Secondary School in N11. A young boy, whose name has not been released to the public, stabbed 12 of his fellow pupils, leaving them all in critical condition. The school was immediately placed on lockdown and emergency services were called to the scene.
The victims were rushed to nearby hospitals where they received medical attention. The perpetrator was apprehended by the police and taken into custody for questioning. The motive for the attack is still unknown at this time.
It is important for schools to have proper security measures in place to prevent incidents like this from happening. Students should also be encouraged to report any suspicious behavior they may witness. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families during this difficult time.
