Students Stabbed at Houston: four students were stabbed at a Houston high school Wednesday morning; a 17-year-old had been stabbed to death while three others were injured after a school fight, Inquisitr reported Wednesday.

According to Fox News, the 17-year-old died at around 7 a.m. at Spring High School from the wounds he got from the stabbing. Two others sustained minor injuries while another student was rushed to the hospital for surgery.

A Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center air ambulance dispatcher confirmed that a 16-year-old boy with stab wounds was transported to the hospital.

Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia said a confrontation at the school escalated and lead to multiple stabbings, adding that the only people involved in the incident were Spring school district students.

Police detained were detained and are being questioned by investigators about the attack.

"There is some information that this may have been gang related," Garcia said, adding that authorities still do not have details on what really prompted the confrontation.

Reports stated that authorities failed to recover the weapons used in the multiple stabbing attack.

"Every parent sends their child to school believing that school should be one of the safe-haven places," Superintendent of the Spring Independent School District Ralph Draper said. "It's what we spend our night and days working for, and what I lose sleep over. We go into this business to make life better for children, and they need to be able to trust the adults who are responsible for their security and their care."

Earlier, parent Lakeshia Brent said she received texts from her son asking her to pick him up from the school, about 20 miles north of Houston.

"He's just afraid," Brent said, adding that the situation was "ridiculous" and that school fights were also a problem in the previous academic year.
