Counselling services are being offered to staff and students at McNally High School following an assault outside the Edmonton school on Friday.
At about 2:45 p.m. Friday, police said an assault took place outside of the high school located in the area of 84 Street and 105 Avenue.
Alberta Health Services said a teenage boy was taken to hospital in critical, life-threatening condition. In an update later Friday, the Edmonton Police Service said the teen was in stable, but critical condition.
On Monday, Edmonton Public Schools said the division and McNally school continue to cooperate with the EPS on its ongoing investigation.
