MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WTVF) — School officials said a student is in custody from Oakland High School after a stabbing incident.
The isolated moment occurred between two students. Rutherford County Schools told parents that one student stabbed another in the shoulder area with an object. They didn't specify the object, and the student didn't require medical treatment from the injury.
Deputies from the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office took the student into custody and will continue to investigate what happened.
During the stabbing, the school activated its security protocols, and after it was resolved, sent a message to all parents.

I LOVE Forrest's stories on the history of NewsChannel 5 as we celebrate our 70th anniversary. Here's a story I wasn't familiar with until recently. Eudora Boxley had a live cooking show in the early days of the station. She may have been the first black on air at NewsChannel 5 and perhaps, one of the first African Americans to have a TV cooking show anywhere in the country. It wasn't until her grandson reached out to me that I even heard of Ms. Boxley. Thankfully, I was able to connect him with Forest to learn more about this great nugget in NewsChannel 5 history.
