Doonside school stabbing: Shock update in fatal school attack that left one teenager dead and another seriously injured

A boy has been charged with murder after fatally stabbing another boy at a school in western Sydney.

Emergency services were called to the scene on Power St at Doonside at around 3.40pm on Friday after reports two teenagers had been stabbed.

Before the police arrived, two teenagers aged 18 and 19 turned up at Blacktown police station with stab wounds.

The 18-year-old died at the scene, NSW Police said in a statement.

The other teenager was taken to Westmead Hospital in a serious but stable condition.

A 16-year-old boy was arrested nearby and taken to Mount Druitt Police Station.

A NSW Police spokesman said the boy had been charged with murder and refused bail to appear in a children’s court on Saturday.

Officers from Blacktown PAC with assistance from the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad have commenced an investigation into the incident under Strike Force Cooey.

A school bus with its hazard lights flashing was seen locked down at a bus stop in an area cordoned off by police while the investigation continues. Witnesses reported seeing teenagers fighting on the bus in the moments before the stabbing.

A resident who lives in the area said they ‘saw a youngster jumping over his fence and several others running through the adjoining back gardens’.

The altercation is believed to have been the result of tensions between rival postcodes involving the RFA (Ready For Anything) and 67 gangs.

Teenagers were seen running from the scene throwing up gang signs, The Daily Telegraph reported.

The RFA gang is from Mount Druitt, while the 67 group, which stands for postcode 2767, is from Doonside.

Police have established crime scenes at both locations and are investigating the incident

The stabbing victims are not believed to have been students at Crawford Public School.

A NSW Police spokesman said: ‘Around 10pm. At 3.40pm emergency services responded to the stabbings near a school on Power Street, Doonside.’

“Before officers attached to Blacktown Police Area Command could arrive at the scene, two teenage boys presented Blacktown Police Station with stab wounds.

‘They were treated at the scene for serious stab wounds. One teenage boy died at the scene and the other teenage boy was taken to hospital in serious condition.

“The police have established crime scenes in both places and are investigating the incident.

‘Following inquiries, the police have arrested a person nearby.’
