GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — A Gwinnett County high school student was stabbed on Wednesday morning while trying to break up a fight.
In a letter sent to parents, South Gwinnett High School Principal Rodney D. Jordan told parents that two students began fighting just before 7 a.m.
That’s when another student stepped in to stop the fight and was stabbed.

“Let me be clear: what happened today is unacceptable and will not be tolerated at South Gwinnett High School,” Jordan wrote. “I understand how unsettling this news may be for students and families, but I want to reassure you that we are taking this matter very seriously.”
All other students are safe and the school day is continuing as normal.
