Man charged with murder, assault in Abbotsford, B.C., school stabbing
ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — Grade 9 student Amsuman Nair will remember the screams for the rest of his life.
The 14-year-old was in the middle of a math exam at his high school in Abbotsford, B.C., when two girls were stabbed, one fatally, in the building’s front entrance — an attack police have characterized as “random.”
Nair and his classmates spent four hours on Tuesday afternoon crouched silently in the corner of a classroom after a school-wide lockdown was declared over the intercom.
On Wednesday, he stood with his father outside the building, where a memorial of cards, flowers, notes and candles was growing.
