WASHINGTON TERRACE, Utah — A student at a South Ogden school was stabbed Tuesday, forcing the school to be placed on hold following the incident.

The Weber School District said a fight involving multiple students at T.H. Bell Junior High School occurred in the morning, with one student allegedly stabbing another with a knife. The injured student was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and is expected to be fine.

Four other juveniles were brought to the Weber County Sheriff's Office headquarters to be interviewed by detectives.

Once the hold was issued, students and staff were told to remain in their classrooms while police investigated the incident. The hold has since been lifted.
