Two students were stabbed and taken to a local hospital for emergency treatment, where one died from his injuries. Both students were minors and their identities will not be released. “The school resource officer on campus responded quickly to the scene, with the first SRO arriving within 20 seconds and was able to detain someone,” Jacksonville Police Chief Mike Janiero said at a news conference. A teacher is believed to have been injured in the incident, but not stabbed, and was treated at the scene, according to Yaniero. He did not disclose the nature of the teacher’s injuries, but said no one else was believed to be injured. The chief also did not disclose the weapon used, saying only that it was a knife incident. There is still an active scene at the school and the investigation is ongoing, Gianiero said, adding that charges will be filed. “I have spoken with Jacksonville Police Chief Janiero and offered state assistance in addition to the SBI to assist in the aftermath of this tragedy,” North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said on Facebook. “Our prayers are with all the students, teachers, families and community.” The incident happened just four days after students returned to school for the new school year. Northside High School, located in Onslow County, has an enrollment of about 952 students, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Northside Middle School students will have a virtual day on Friday and return to in-person classes on Tuesday, Onslow County Schools Superintendent Dr. Barry Collins said at a news conference.

“Most schools need to fight harder, this is life or death”

Melissa Brison Mack, who has three children who attend the high school just a mile away from their home, said the incident “scared” her. Her children, who are in grades 9, 10 and 11, had just arrived at school 15 minutes before classes started when the incident happened. “They arrived as the chaos happened and luckily they didn’t see what happened,” Mack told CNN. “My oldest was chased into a friend’s car in the school parking lot and my two youngest waited in the parking lot until they were ordered to go to the cafeteria for lockdown.” The mother of six said she knew something bad was up when the school called parents asking them not to bring their children to school if they hadn’t already. “I’m so glad they’re safe, but I’m not even sure how to tell them to be safe at school,” Mack said. “I just had a conversation with my oldest on the way to dance class earlier this week about what she would do if there was a shooter and she had a good plan. But then this happens and you realize the school isn’t safe, put them where they are if someone can pull a knife on them.” Superintendent Collins spoke at the press conference about the security measures the school district is implementing to protect students and staff, especially increasing the presence of student resources. “We have put a lot of resources into the safety and security of our school district over the past year, with the addition of several SROs,” Collins said. “There are other measures that we have put in place, in terms of knocking on door locks, cameras and ring-in, but there are probably some other things that we will have to look at and those are the kinds of things that we will be looking at over the next few days and weeks”. But Mack says it’s not enough and is urging the school to implement better policies to keep its children safe, such as a clear book bag policy or metal detectors at the school’s front doors. “Most schools have to fight harder, it’s life or death,” Mack said. “For the parents this happened to, I’m so sorry they didn’t have the opportunity I did to take their child today.” CNN’s Melissa Alonso contributed to this report.
