Version 0 of 1. A teenager was injured during an altercation Wednesday near the Tenleytown-AU Metro station after Wilson High School dismissed students for the day, authorities said. Police said the teenager was stabbed. Wilson’s principal, Kimberly J. Martin, said in an email that the injured teen was a Wilson student, and she called the incident an altercation. She declined to give further details. The teen’s injuries were not life-threatening, Martin said, and “he is expected to make a full recovery.” District schools spokeswoman Michelle Lerner referred inquiries about the stabbing to police. She declined to say whether the incident involved other students or affected activities at the high school campus. In her email, sent to parents and other “members of the Wilson High School community,” Martin said she couldn’t provide more information about the incident, citing the police investigation. The attack occurred in the 4500 block of 40th Street NW shortly before 4 p.m., said Officer Hugh Carew, a D.C. police spokesman. Martin said the school has counselors in place to help students who may have witnessed the incident or are upset by it. “I want to assure you that the safety of all Wilson High School students is our top priority, and we remain committed to ensuring that your students are safe,” Martin said. |
