Winnipeg police are investigating after high school students were involved in an armed assault that required one teen to be hospitalized with serious injuries.
Police responded to the Ridgewood South neighbourhood around 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 13, after receiving a report of an assault with a weapon involving several teens, Winnipeg Police Service Const. Dani McKinnon said in an email.
An injured 16-year-old boy was taken to hospital in unstable condition and later upgraded to stable.
Shelley Amos, superintendent of Pembina Trails School Division, acknowledged some of those involved were students from Oak Park High School in Charleswood.
McKinnon said the assault did not occur on school property.
“At Pembina Trails, the safety and well-being of our students is our highest priority,” Amos said in an email statement.
“As this is an ongoing Winnipeg Police Service investigation, we will have no further comment.”
Administrators from the high school notified parents about the incident in a letter on Monday.
“We are engaging with our community partners, the police and our school resource officer to work through this with them. From our understanding, the parties involved are recovering,” the letter said.
“We strive to ensure that the safety of our students is first and foremost and continue to work with them on also making safe choices outside of the school.”
Police have not made any arrests.
