Summary
Three attempted murder charges were filed against a 14-year-old girl over Tuesday's knife attack at Co-op Academy in Manchester, along with two counts of possessing a bladed article on school premises.
Three people were stabbed — a 14-year-old boy, a 14-year-old girl and a 27-year-old staff member — but police said all have been released from hospital with no serious injuries.
Counter-terror police are leading the investigation, though Greater Manchester Police said the case has not been declared a terrorist incident and inquiries are continuing.
The suspect had earlier been detained under the Mental Health Act before being released to police custody, and is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London on Friday.
