A 15-year-old girl was set on fire in an assault at Saskatoon’s Evan Hardy Collegiate Thursday afternoon, police say.
According to police, emergency calls were received around 12:30 p.m. reporting an assault and a fire at the school.
A School Resource Officer (SRO), who was already present on the scene for a different matter, was able to take the 14-year-old female suspect into custody immediately.
The victim, a 15-year-old female, was transported to hospital with serious injuries, and police say a teacher was injured trying to intervene.
The SRO will continue to work closely with school board officials as the investigation continues.
Saskatoon police Sergeant Ken Kane held a media briefing SPS headquarters Thursday afternoon to share what police know about the incident so far.
This is a developing story. More details to come.
