Boy, 15, stabbed to death in fight outside school. A 15-year-old boy was stabbed to death today in a fight outside a south London school.
The teenager was stabbed several times and was taken by air ambulance to a nearby hospital where he was declared dead.
A second youngster was also stabbed but only received minor injuries to his arm.
Police are investigating the possibilities that two gangs clashed or that the dead teenager was targeted by a larger group.
Murder squad detectives said three people have been arrested following the incident in Gipsy Road Gardens.
The fight broke out close to the entrance of Park Campus School, where the boy is believed to have been a pupil.
Park Campus is a specialist school educating some of London's most troubled young people, including those with social, behavioural and emotional difficulties.
Launched two years ago, it was hailed as the first school of its kind in Britain, aimed at getting young people back into mainstream education.
The teenager is the 13th teenager to be killed in London this year. Previous victims left to right: Sofyen Belamouadden, 15, was stabbed to death at Victoria Underground Station in March, Wesley Sterling, 16, was knifed in April and Marcin Bilaszewski, 19, died after an attack in North London in May
There are around 80 pupils aged between 11 and 16 at the school, which was purpose-built to minimise the risk to young people and staff.
The newly-built school is also the headquarters for Lambeth Council's 'behaviour partnership service', which supports young people elsewhere.
A London Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: 'We were called at 8.50am to reports of a stabbing in Gipsy Road Gardens.
'We sent two single responders, two ambulance cars, an air ambulance and a duty manager to the scene.
'Our staff treated two patients, reported to be teenage boys, and took them as a priority by road to hospital.'
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: 'A murder inquiry has been launched after the death of a 15-year-old boy in south London.
