The five victims and the suspect were transported to several area hospitals, but their conditions were unknown, Boyd said. Tacoma Fire Department spokesperson Chelsea Shepherd told CBS affiliate KIRO-TV that four people sustained serious injuries.
The exact circumstances that led up to the attack were still unclear. Tacoma police detectives and forensics officers were on scene conducting an investigation.
The campus was locked down, Boyd said, and police arranged for parents to meet their children in the school’s parking lot.
