The stabbing occurred Tuesday morning in a bathroom at Northeast Middle School. 

Police spokeswoman Donna Drake says another student, also a boy, was detained after the stabbing. 

Drake says the two students had some type of confrontation but the motive for the stabbing is still being investigated.
