LA LOCHE, Sask. – The mayor of a northern Saskatchewan community says a student stabbed two people at the high school in La Loche.

Georgina Jolibois says the student stabbed a staff member and another student at the Dene High School.

She says the two individuals are being treated and the person responsible is in RCMP custody.

The school division has not provided further details about what happened, but says RCMP are to comment further.

The division says the school is safe and that there is no current threat.

Jolibois says the stabbing has shaken and re-traumatized the community, which is trying to make sense of what happened.

In 2016, four people were killed and seven injured in a shooting rampage in La Loche, including two teachers at the high school.
