High School Student Allegedly Stabbed After Refusing To Go To Prom With Attacker

Jonathan Law High School in Milford, C.T. was on lockdown this morning after sources told local news that a student had allegedly stabbed a female classmate after she had rejected his invitation to the prom.

The Milford Police Department confirmed the stabbing to Business Insider, saying the rest of the student body is safe and that authorities are working with school officials to investigate the incident further.

The student, a junior at the high school, was taken to a nearby hospital in Bridgeport.

"Some students, holding hands and crying, say the girl who was stabbed is in "really bad" shape," reports CTNews.

Jonathan Law High School Principal Fran Thompson sent a message to parents saying there was a physical altercation between two students at the school, and one student required medical attention.

All students at Jonathan Law High School were dismissed at 9am.
