13-year-old charged with attempted murder after stabbing at London school

A 13-year-old British teenager has been charged with attempted murder following a stabbing incident at Kingsbury High School in Brent, northwest London. The attack occurred on Wednesday around 12:41 PM local time when the suspect allegedly entered the school and sprayed insecticide on one student before stabbing two others. The victims, aged 12 and 13, were transported to hospitals where they remain in stable, non-life-threatening condition. The Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command is leading the investigation due to specific concerns regarding the suspect's motives, though the incident is not currently classified as terrorism. The teenager appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court facing charges of attempted murder, possession of a knife, and administering a noxious substance. Police confirmed the suspect is a UK-born British citizen to address online speculation regarding his background. While early reports indicated the suspect was at large, he was subsequently apprehended and remains in custody. Local authorities have increased police presence in the area to reassure students and parents following the violence.
