A 16-year-old boy who was stabbed in the library of his school south of Edmonton was attacked over a $10 dispute, his mother tells CTV News Edmonton.
He was airlifted to the Stollery Children's Hospital Monday after he was injured at Pigeon Lake Regional School. He remained in hospital Tuesday in an induced coma.
The victim's mother said her son was stabbed in the stomach, just above his pelvis.
Both the victim and his mother cannot be identified because he and his alleged attacker, a fellow student, are both minors.
RCMP announced charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault against the 16-year-old on Tuesday. He's out on bail and is scheduled to appear in court on June 1.
"The investigators are interviewing everyone with relation to the incident to understand exactly why and how he brought a knife into the school and also what his motivations were and exactly what took place," Cpl. Troy Savinkoff said.
The boy was arrested at the high school, without further incident, RCMP confirmed.
