A teen was killed and a woman injured in a stabbing incident in Mount Vernon, according to police.
Police say the two were stabbed on Prospect and Gramatan avenues around 4:30 p.m. Friday.
Police say the woman was taken to the hospital to be treated. They say the teenager was a student at the Davis STEAM Academy in the Mount Vernon School District.
"I'm horrified by the whole thing, and I just hope that the people who did it get caught and punished," says Lori McFarlane, of Mount Vernon.
Mayor Shawyn Patterson-Howard says the district will have services available to students through the weekend.
The stabbing comes on the same day as the city held a parade for the boys high school basketball team, for winning the state championship. Sources close to the investigation say the two people were stabbed just as celebrations were winding down.
