Students Near Crime Scene Kept Inside School
Students of Horsforth School and St. Margaret's Primary School were kept inside school premises at the end of the school day so that they could be collected from the building by their parents.
A Horsforth resident who was picking up her grandchild from the primary school when she saw the police cars and ambulance initially thought the incident was a car crash.
"The school was very good, they messaged us to say they were keeping the children safe inside," the woman added. "I was very sad when I heard what had happened."
Police cordons remained in place as investigations regarding the incident are underway.
