15-Year-Old Fatally Stabbed at Sheffield School; Peer Arrested

The incident highlights the UK's growing knife crime crisis, with government pledges to address the issue through stricter regulations.

A 15-year-old boy was fatally stabbed on February 3 at All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield, England, with a 15-year-old suspect taken into custody.
Emergency responders were unable to save the victim, who was attacked on school grounds shortly after noon local time.
The UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, referred to the incident as part of a 'national crisis' of knife crime, reiterating the government’s commitment to ensuring safety in schools and communities.
The school had temporarily closed the previous week due to threats of violence among students, according to the headmaster's statement to parents.
In response to rising knife-related violence, the UK has recently enacted laws banning certain knives and machetes and is tightening controls on online knife sales.
