A 16-year-old boy who was stabbed near a Montreal-area high school on Tuesday has succumbed to his injuries. He was a student at John Rennie High School, according to the principal.
The victim has been identified as Lucas Gaudet. His classmates are remembering him as kind and "welcoming to everyone" as they grapple with the violence that implicates two different schools.
The stabbing happened during a confrontation among several teens just outside St-Thomas High School in the Pointe-Claire suburb of Montreal's West Island.
However, the victim was a student at neighbouring John Rennie High School, according to that school's administration, which told parents of his death in a message on Thursday.
"It is with profound sadness that I am informing you of the death of a 16-year-old John Rennie High School student," wrote principal Jennifer Kurta in the letter, also sending "deepest sympathies" to the boy's family.
