Montreal boy, 16, fatally stabbed outside his school; police seek three teen suspects

Montreal police are looking for multiple suspects after a teenager was fatally stabbed near his school in Cote-des-Neiges Monday afternoon, staggering inside to seek help.

The boy made it inside the school to seek help and was sent to hospital after the 3 p.m. attack in the neighbourhood of Cote-des-Neiges. Montreal police said at about 8:45 p.m. that he had died.

He was stabbed just outside the school he attended, according to the English Montreal School Board -- an alternative school called Programme Mile End that was located in the basement of another school, Coronation Elementary. 

Police said the stabbing started as a fight between a group of boys and that they're looking for three suspects, all ages 16 to 18.

Earlier Monday, Montreal police said they were called to the intersection of Van Horne and Victoria avenues around 3 p.m. for a call about an assault with a weapon.
