Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid began Wednesday's (February 11) episode with distressing news of a double stabbing at a school in Brent, London. Two boys aged 12 and 13 are in a serious condition in hospital after the attack at Kingsbury High School on Tuesday (February 10).
Reid described the incident as "horror in the classroom," while co-host Ed Balls noted that a weapon believed to have been used in the attack had been recovered. Counter-terrorism police are questioning a 13-year-old boy on suspicion of attempted murder, and officers are not looking for anyone else in connection with the stabbings.
Reporter Ashna Hurynag, broadcasting from outside the school, described the scene as "absolute chaos" with a police helicopter and armed officers in attendance. The lower school remains closed, while the upper school is open. The headteacher described it as a "deeply traumatic day" for the community.
Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams stated that detectives are "keeping an open mind as to any motivation behind the attack." The investigation continues.
