JERSEY VILLAGE, Texas - A Jersey Village High School student was cut with a kitchen knife during a fight on Thursday morning, Cy-Fair ISD officials say.
What we know:
Cy-Fair ISD says administrators and district police responded to a physical altercation between two students on Thursday morning.
The district says that during the incident, a student took out a kitchen knife, cutting another student’s arm. District police officers disarmed and detained the student involved.
The injured student was evaluated by medical personnel at the school and then taken to the hospital for further medical care out of an abundance of caution, the district says.
"Officers secured the area immediately, and normal school operations safely resumed," the district stated.
What we don't know:
Neither of the students involved were identified.
Insight from student, parent
What they're saying:
Student Angel Saldana says he saw and heard commotion near the bathroom while he was in line for lunch. He says he saw a girl coming out of the restroom screaming.
"After the fight happened, me and my friends walked around, and we saw blood on the wall, on the floor, and janitors cleaning up."
Parent Reba Frazier says she received a text from her child and an email from the school, notifying her of the incident.
"My daughter said she was outside the bathroom where it happened and that there was a bunch of screaming," Frazier said. "But she said that the administration was right there when it happened and intervened pretty quickly."
The incident leaves questions for parents as students return to school on Friday.
"They all have clear backpacks and the school has a really strict policy," Frazier said. "So how did they get this in? And how did that happen?"
Investigation underway
What's next:
Cy-Fair ISD says district police and campus administrators are conducting a joint investigation.
"Strict legal and disciplinary consequences will be applied in accordance with the CFISD Student Code of Conduct and Texas law," the district said in a statement.
