A 14 year old girl will appear at Westminster Magistrates Court today charged with three counts of attempted murder following the incident at the Coop Academy at Blackley on Tuesday morning in which two pupils and a teacher were stabbed
Due to circumstances surrounding the incident, the investigation was passed to Counter Terrorism Policing North West, although, at this time, it has not been declared as a terrorist incident.
Det Chief Supt Jonathan Chadwick, Head of Counter Terrorism Policing North West, said: “These are extremely serious charges against a young girl and, working closely with Greater Manchester Police, we continue to support the victims and their families and offer support to the wider school community, who have been deeply affected by what happened.
“Although charges have now been secured, our investigation is still ongoing, and we continue to work with local policing colleagues in the Blackley area.”
