stabbing up on the third floor of the school here which sits on wisconsin avenue just outside the main part of georgetown. where he the paramedics arrived they found the student conscious and breathing. a little while we did hear from d.c. police as well as the principal from the british school. you're first going to hear from d.c. inspector who is going to give you the facts and then from the principal on what he had to say to the parents. we had an incident at the school involving assault. this involved two juveniles. the information i can give you on that is limited we did have one student sustain some injuries. he's being treat ed at a local hospital right now. we do not believe that any other students are in danger and the case is under investigation right now. the suspect has been identified. however because there are diplomatic status there's going to be no arrest at this time. any questions regarding the diplomatic stats us can be referred to the state department . at the moment is there anything

told the parents. the student body are safe and well. we continued the school day as normal. we've spoken with the student body and we'll he be re leasing them as normal. emergency help was sent to the school just before one this afternoon and according to paramedics on the scene the victim was conscious and breathing with two stab wounds to the shoulder area of his back . the paramedic described them as minor stab wounds. police say the stabbing took place on the third floor of the school but would not say if it was in a classroom or even described as circumstances that led up to the assault. parents who came to the school toic p up their children expressed concern and surprise, but said the school has so far not told them what had happened. it's crazy from a school like this. i don't know how -- till in shock much that's all. it's a good l school. >> i mean one of the best schools. we know that. to hear something like this happies

surprise, shock. >> now the tat us of this 13 year old female student is unclear at this hour. the principal would not take questions. here's some facts about diplomatic immunity. according to the take it department, you can have diplomatic immunity. your siblings, your sons and daughters can have diplomatic immunity and also members of the administrative and technical staff members at an embassy have diplomatic immunity. that means he they cannot be arrested or detained. they cannot serve as witnesses or be prosecuted and they can be, that is they can be issued traffic citations. now, it is possible that once this case is referred to the office of attorney even, which the police say they will do, that it could be up to the state department as to what may happen to this 13 year old, whether they asked the diplomat to leave the country with his framly or her

down the road, but that possibly could happen. also we want to tell you that it's not un precedented for a dim plat to be charged with a crime here in washington, back in 1997 a man named george imac rats i was charged after country that he was here representing, georgia waived his diplomatic immunity. he was charged with a crime. he was tried and convicted and was sentenced to seven years in prison. we're live outside the british international school, paul wagner, fox5 local news. >> the story you heard first from fox5. the district is set to get a brand new hospital on the site on the cam bus of saint elite beth's. p $300,000 has been set aside. matt ackland is live from st. elizabeths with more on that. >>reporter: this is the place that has been selected. there was a major site survey going on and st.

them on in an emergency basis the hospital was going to have trouble making payroll. several years ago as mayor and now as council member vincent gray proposed a new hospital at st. elizabeth's but funding was held back. he says if he had had his way, the hospital would be less than two years from completion. i could almost tell you the day would have been 2019. we're in 2017 now. so we would be probably less than two years away from opening the new hospital. now we got $300 million once again in the budget, but some of us in the out years which means if if it stays on its current timetable it could be 2023 before we're opening a new hospital and that's just too long. we picked this location at saint e's to tell you it was right before the mayoral election, vincent gray and his staff here announced that st. elizabeth's is where they wanted to build that hospital, but funding was an issue, never got it

today he said that he hopes that this hospital is built sooner than later. as you heard him say, 2023. he says this community simply doesn't have that long. they need to have a hospital sooner and he's urging the council and mayor to do whatever they can to move this forward quick limit live in southeast, matt ackland, fobbing five local news. >> disappointment as the rum p administration aunderstand north koreas the end of daca. protest ors are furnish russ over the president's decision to end the deferred action for childhood arrivals program. and demonstrators are taking to streets in several cities across the country from protests outside of trump tower in new york city to phoenix where dozen s of people demonstrated outside ice headquarters. there's a large crowd right now at lafayette park here in d.c. that's where we find fox5 tom fitzgerald. you were part of the briefing of the administration h morning
