Six people were injured in all, including the student suspect and a security guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tacoma police spokesperson Shelbie Boyd said the 16-year-old was arrested and taken to Remann Hall Pierce County Juvenile Detention Center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police initially said he was arrested on five counts of first-degree assault, but prosecutors are pursuing four counts, one for each of the students who were stabbed, according to court documents cited by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seattletimes.com\/seattle-news\/foss-high-school-stabbing-was-started-by-fight-ended-by-staff\/\">The Seattle Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police responded to 911 calls reporting a stabbing in the cafeteria and a school hallway. Surveillance video showed four students surrounding the 16-year-old, who appeared to be trying to provoke them to hit him, according to the court documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police said the 16-year-old and another student lunged at the same time, but the 16-year-old was armed with a knife. The first student he lunged at was stabbed in the chest and later needed part of his lung removed, The Seattle Times reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another student was sliced and stabbed several times, a third student suffered a deep cut to his forearm that required surgery, and a fourth was stabbed in the back. The security guard was cut in the arm while breaking up the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The security guard told police he did not believe the teen cut him on purpose and said the boy apologized afterward, according to the documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suspect also suffered minor injuries. All six people who were injured were taken to hospitals and were in stable condition as of Friday morning, police said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 16-year-old student has been charged with first-degree assault after four students and a security guard were injured in a stabbing at a high school in Tacoma, Washington, according to officials and local media.
