Police say a 12-year-old boy was allegedly stabbed to death by a sixth-grade classmate at a Jamaican school.
Authorities say Shaheim Lewis was killed Monday inside a classroom of the Barrett Town All Age School in the northern parish of St. James. An 11-year-old student has been taken into custody.
Police report that the two children got into a fight and the younger student pulled a knife on his classmate.
The island's education ministry says it has sent a "trauma team" to the school. Education Minister Ronald Thwaites says guidance counselors have also been made available to the accused student's relatives. (***)
