DUCHESNE, Utah (AP) - Authorities say an 18-year-old Duchesne High School student has stabbed one of his peers at the school.
The Duchesne County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement to the Associated Press the fight began Wednesday about 11 a.m. on the football field before moving to a locker room.
Police say the wounded 17-year-old boy sustained critical injuries. Emergency crews brought him to Uintah Basin Medical Center.
Police say the other student is in custody. They did not give details about the weapon.
