Greenville, N.C. — A Greenville high school student was arrested Monday after a fellow student was stabbed during a fight, police said.

Johnavan Quaddique Spell, 17, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a weapon on education property. He was being held in the Pitt County jail under a $25,000 bond.

Police said a J.H. Rose High School student was stabbed at the school at about 8:20 a.m. The assault grew out of a weekend dispute, they said.

The victim's name hasn't been released. Police said they don't think his injuries are life-threatening.

Tim McVeigh killed far more people than any mass shooter ever did using gasoline and fertilizer for example....junkmail5

You do realize that your comment alone shows your level of education? There is a HUGE difference between gasoline and diesel fuel.

No schools are safe. They've never have been. But what I've seen happening more and more, is the age and type of violents. This I think come about by the age group that are allowed to stay in school. If you're 18 years old, in the 9th grade, that to me is a problem. I wouldn't want my child of 14 or 15 in a class with 17 and 18 year olds in the 9th grade. I really think that once a kid get to age 17 and will turn 18 before going into the 10th grade they should be put in a "special" school. Anyone who would be 20 or 21 or more years old before they graduate should not be in a regular school. I know that those who wish for a GED can go to alternate school. There is no reason for an 18 year old kid to be in a class of 15 and 15 years olds.
