Prince George’s County police say a 15-year-old boy has died after he was stabbed while walking home from Parkdale High School in Riverdale.
Police were called to the 6000 block of Good Luck Road, which is three miles from the campus, just before 2:45 p.m.
Maj. Kevin Davis, who commands District 1 of the county police, said a car pulled up and the teen was stabbed during an altercation with a man who got out of the car. Friends of the teen found him and called 911.
The Washington Post reported yesterday that police do not know what led to the attack.
The teen was taken to Doctors Community Hospital with a stab wound to the chest where he later died.
County Public Schools spokesman John White said the stabbing took place about a quarter-mile from the school after all students had been dismissed and all buses had left the school. Any students who still were at the school were kept safely inside.
The school will open as scheduled tomorrow. White said grief counselors and a crisis team will be on hand.
