Officers are investigating an incident at Dover High School on Tuesday.
According to a letter sent to the parents, the incident increased to the point, incorporating a dispute between two students, where a person maintained a serious injury, which required emergency medical intervention. According to sources, the injured student was reported to have received a deep slash wound, a detail that has been widely broadcast in social media platforms.
