“It was a fight inside the school and it escalated. My brother ended up getting stabbed inside his side three times. He got stabbed inside his elbow that left a piece of blade inside his arm,” said Jay Gash, the victim’s brother. “We found out he was at Mercy, and we flew here.”
A school police officer told our Channel 11 crew at the scene that the student with the most serious injuries is 18 years old, but Kamel’s brother said he is 17 years old.
“A lot went through my mind. I already lost a brother to gun violence, so this is a traumatic moment. I’m just trying to hang on. My mind is just going crazy right now,” Gash said.
Gash told Channel 11 his twin brothers, who are juniors at Carrick, didn’t see the fight break out. They were inside a classroom at the time and immediately called their mom to tell her what happened.
“It’s just a waiting game to see what’s going to happen inside of surgery and we’ll going to take it from there,” Gash said.
We’re told another student was taken to UPMC Children’s Hospital. At last check, that patient was stable.
