The classmate was taken to a hospital with non life-threatening injuries and the 18-year-old student was arrested, police said. School officials said police recovered the weapon.
“This is not good news. You see what I mean? They are kids,” said parent Jimmy Jniver. “They are a bunch of innocents.”
The school, which serves students in grades six through 12, is on Peacevale Road in Boston.
“They need more security at the school, like policemen to help the kids that don’t get into any trouble,” another parent said.
