Authorities in Connecticut have released the identity of a 17-year-old high school student who was fatally stabbed over the weekend outside a home.
The Shelton Police Department said four teens were stabbed when a fight broke out at a party Saturday night. The victim who died was named as James McGrath.
The department said officers responded to reports of a fight and stabbing around 11:55 p.m. When they arrived, they came across "numerous teenagers" outside a home.
Four stabbing victims were found and McGrath was pronounced dead at the scene. The identities and conditions of the other victims were not released.
McGrath was a junior at the Fairfield College Preparatory School, the school said Monday in a statement. He was also a member of the school football and lacrosse teams.
More than 1,000 people gathered Sunday at a prayer service on campus that was followed by a Monday memorial service where school President Christian Cashman addressed students and staff, the school said.
