A Duluth High School student was injured Thursday after they were involved in a fight with another student at the school who was armed with a knife.
According to a social media post from Duluth High School Principal Eric Davidson, the fight happened Thursday morning shortly before first period. The two students engaged in the fight outside of the school's cafeteria, when one of the students displayed a knife and caused a "superficial wound," to the other student.
"Fortunately, several administrators and our school resource officers, were nearby and quickly intervened," the post reads. "Thankfully, neither student sustained a serious injury and everyone is well."
Davidson said the incident was unacceptable and the behavior displayed would not be tolerated.
Both involved students will face disciplinary consequences for fighting, and the student who brandished the knife will face criminal charges, according to Davidson.
"I want to reassure you, we are taking this situation seriously," Davidson said. "Unfortunately, young people sometimes make impulsive decisions without considering the lasting potential consequences of those actions. We are proud of the culture that we have at Duluth and thankful that we see very few incidents that involve physical aggression. I addressed our students and staff this morning and reminded them of how blessed we are to be in a place that has a thriving school culture where we benefit from our strong our sense of community."
