Three individuals, including two 17-year-olds and one 18-year-old, were charged with disorderly conduct while police managed the scene.

The altercation that led to the stabbing reportedly stemmed from an earlier prank or dispute between the students involved.

The fight, which involved students and juveniles not associated with the school, raised concerns about the victim's status as a student.

In response to the incident, Fort Lee High School was placed on lockdown, and all roads leading to and from the school were closed.

Parent Cindy Abdalla commended school officials for their timely communication during the crisis, which helped alleviate parental concerns.

Despite the lockdown, many anxious parents gathered outside the school, voicing their fears for their children's safety.

The police department emphasized that their actions were taken 'out of an abundance of caution' to ensure the safety of students and staff.

A stabbing incident involving students from New Milford High School led to a police response and the arrest of the student responsible.

As the situation develops, updates will be provided to the community regarding safety measures and the investigation's progress.

School counselors were made available for students affected by the incident, and police maintained an increased presence around the school.

Parents criticized the school's security measures, particularly the absence of metal detectors, suggesting that better protocols could have prevented the incident.

Gratitude was expressed to law enforcement agencies for their support during the ongoing investigation into the incident.
