VA. School locked down and student seriously injured in Manchester High School fight

One of Manchester High School students was seriously injured.  As a result the principal issued this statement:

This is Pete Koste, principal at Manchester High School.

I’m calling to let you know that our school is currently on lockdown as we investigate an altercation between two students. Police are on site and investigating, and one student is in custody.

At this time, it appears that the incident was limited to one classroom but all students will remain in lockdown until police have left. We will share information as soon as we have it.

Per our normal lockdown protocols, please do not call or come to the school.

One student was arrested following a physical altercation in an isolated event that involved a knife in a classroom. The second student involved is receiving medical attention.
At this time, all classrooms are secure and students are safe. We appreciate your patience as police close their investigation.
