A teen has died Thursday morning in hospital after being stabbed near a West Island high school, Montreal police confirm.
The victim was injured in an altercation that took place Tuesday afternoon near St. Thomas High School in Pointe-Claire. He was a student at John Rennie High School (JRHS), principal Jennifer Kurt confirmed in a letter sent to parents.
"We have our student services team deployed to classes today to support teachers in delivering this message to students," she said in a statement.
"We will be providing extra guidance to any student in need throughout today and encourage you to leave your child in school for the remainder of the day so that we can help them grieve."
Despite having a pedagogical day tomorrow, JRHS will be open between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. for students in need of professional support.
