Emergency services were called to All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield around midday on February 3, 2025, following a stabbing incident involving 15-year-old Harvey Willgoose, who sustained serious injuries.

A 14-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the stabbing and is currently in police custody, while authorities are actively searching for a second student involved in the altercation.

The school was placed on lockdown during the incident due to threats of physical violence made by a small group of students, but this lockdown was lifted after police declared the school safe.

Parents reported that their children were in shock and had been advised to 'get to safety' during the chaotic moments of the incident.

Assistant Chief Constable Lindsey Butterfield expressed condolences and assured the community that police would remain present as the investigation unfolds, while also urging respect for the grieving family.

Local MP Louise Haigh described the incident as 'horrific news' and called for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the stabbing.

In the aftermath, tributes and flowers were left near the school in memory of Harvey, with friends and family describing him as a bright and loving individual.

Witnesses described the scene as 'absolutely terrifying,' with many students left traumatized after witnessing the attack.

Reports indicate that the victim was stabbed just below the heart and was transported to the hospital in critical condition.

Anthony Olaseinde, founder of the charity Always An Alternative, raised concerns about potential missed warnings leading up to the incident, emphasizing the need for proactive measures.

The incident highlights a troubling trend of knife-related violence among young people in the UK, which has been described as a 'national crisis' by political leaders.

The police have warned against online speculation regarding the suspect's identity, emphasizing the importance of respecting the ongoing investigation and the affected families.
