Nassau, Bahamas – 9th December, 2015 – The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology is sad
to report the passing of a 12th grade male student of the Doris
Johnson Senior High School who was involved in a stabbing incident on Prince
Charles Drive this afternoon, in the vicinity of Blanco Beach.
While our schools have adopted a zero
tolerance for violence on campuses, we wish to remind our students that
violence off campuses will not be condoned either. Today’s event is most unfortunate
as the life of another young man has been taken. We must encourage our young
people to resolve their conflicts in a more peaceful manner.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the
family of the victim and our thoughts and prayers are with them and the Doris
Johnson school family as well.
We are deeply saddened by this tragic event
that occurred today and once again, we call on all citizens to unite to promote
a spirit of peace and love this holiday season and throughout the New Year.
