Two staff members who were stabbed at a Halifax-area high school have been released from hospital, while the student accused in the stabbing remains in custody.

The two employees were sent to hospital with serious injuries after they were stabbed at Charles P. Allen High School in Bedford, N.S., Monday morning.

The student, who has been charged in the incident, was also taken to hospital with non-life-threatening stab wounds and later released.

The names of the employees have not officially been released, but the principal identified them -- Mr. Rodgers and Ms. Light -- in a tweet Wednesday evening.

Charles P. Allen High School principal Stephanie Bird said in an email to families Wednesday night that both staff members were discharged from hospital that afternoon.

“We are so proud of our student body and how they responded during the hold and secure, during the evacuation, and over the course of the last few days,” said Bird.

“We recognize there was some anxiety coming into the building today, but the smiles and hugs were amazing. Lots of love is being felt today.”
