A 13-year-old boy stabbed his teacher with a butcher knife at a middle school in Georgia on Oct. 22, the principal confirmed in media reports.

The alleged incident began when the “student reportedly called the teacher over and then struck her in the chest area,” the school’s principal, Ryan Queen, told parents, ABC News reported.

The student was then taken into custody in a language arts classroom at Trickum Middle School, Gwinnett County Public Schools spokeswoman Sloan Roach said.

The knife, which was 8 inches long, was located in the teen’s backpack, according to reports.

“I need to share with you a serious incident that occurred at school this afternoon. A student has been taken into custody after stabbing one of our teachers during a class. This occurred in an 8th-grade language arts classroom. The student was immediately apprehended and all other students are safe. The teacher has been transported to an area hospital, but was conscious and talking to first responders,” said officials in a statement to WSB-TV.
