A 16-year-old boy was arrested after he allegedly fired a handgun outside of Washburn High School while police were responding to a stabbing in the auditorium a few minutes earlier.
A large number of officers responded around just before 8 p.m. to 911 calls about a “large fight” in the auditorium of the south Minneapolis school, Police Chief Brian O’Hara told reporters at the scene.
A teenage boy, also 16, was found with a non-life-threatening stab wound to the lower back.
