A 16-year-old boy has been charged with attempted murder after a fellow student was stabbed in the library of a central Alberta school.
RCMP say the boy is also charged with aggravated assault in relation to yesterday's attack at Pigeon Lake Regional School in Falun, about 80 kilometres southwest of Edmonton.
He has been released on bail and is to appear in court in June.
The 16-year-old victim is in stable condition in hospital and recovering after surgery.
Cpl. Troy Savinkoff says the two boys, who are both enrolled as students at the school, know each other and investigators are trying to determine why the attack happened.
Some 250 students from grades 7 to 12 attend the school, and RCMP say some students and staff in the library witnessed the stabbing.
