7 youths charged in deadly attack of Edmonton high school student

Seven youths in Edmonton have been arrested and are facing charges in the stabbing death of 16-year-old Karanveer Sahota.He died of his injuries a week later, and Wednesday's autopsy determined a stab wound to the chest was the cause of death.

"We did charge seven youth with attempted murder. Since our victim has since passed away, those charges are being reviewed by the crown and those charges will be upgraded in the very near future," Edmonton Police Service Deputy Chief Kevin Brezinski confirmed Thursday. "It's just such a tragedy, when we're talking about youth. Deaths are always tragic but a preventable death is upon us, and now obviously we've got mothers, fathers, community members that are obviously very upset," Chief Dale McFee added.

He called the investigation "complex" but he applauded the cooperation of witnesses and school officials.No information on the ages of the people charged was released.

Anyone else think this “BREAKING” nonsense makes no sense? This isn’t TV where you cut to the story.

Geezus!! WTF?

How heartbreaking is that for the parents. I hope they get the punishment that all people deserve when you take someone's life away. Especially, a child who had yet so much to live for. RIP 🙏

Oh my God. That's horrible.
