A 16-year-old boy has died after an alleged stabbing at a school in Aberdeen.
The fifth year pupil was taken to the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary but died a short time later. Police said the boy's next of kin have been informed.
Officers were called to the Cults Academy school in the west of the city at 1.30pm.
They have detained another 16-year-old boy in connection with the incident.
Chief Inspector Graeme Mackie said it was a "shocking and extraordinary incident for Aberdeen".
He added: "Firstly our thoughts are with the family and friends of the boy who has sadly lost his life today.
"A full and thorough enquiry has been launched and there will be a police presence in the area for the foreseeable future.
"We are working closely with the education authorities and wider community, as I am sure this incident will be felt not only in Aberdeen but much further afield."
