Several people were stabbed at a Pennsylvania high school early Wednesday, authorities said.
At least five to six of those were stabbed, CBS Pittsburgh reported. As many as 20 students may have possibly been injured in the incident.
"We have 8 patients being taken into Forbes. Their ages range from 15 to 60," Jesse Miller, communication officer for Forbes Hospital, told the Daily News. "I can also confirm that we have another patient being taken to our parent hospital, Allegheny General Hospital."
Dan Stevens, deputy emergency management coordinator, said most of the injuries are stab wounds to extremities.
The suspect, who has not been identified yet, is in custody.
Police and paramedics are currently on the scene in Murrysville, which is about 18 miles east of Pittsburgh.
Mothers and fathers were seen rushing to the high school after the news broke. Some were directed to the town’s middle school to be reunited with their children from the high school, according to WTAE-TV.
Others were told that their children were taken to a hospital. Some had to be airlifted from the scene.
The scene is reportedly secure and currently on lockdown.
The school district posted the following statement on its website:
"A critical incident has occurred at the high school. All elementary schools are cancelled, the middle school and high school students are secure. Additional information will be released as soon as possible. Please keep our campus clear of traffic."
