   NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A Connecticut school is in mourning following the   
   death of a 17-year-old student who was fatally stabbed during a fight in   
   Shelton last weekend that injured several other teenagers.   
      
   James "Jimmy" McGrath, a junior at Fairfield Preparatory School, was   
   killed after an altercation outside a home on Laurel Glen Drive late   
   Saturday, police said. McGrath was one of the four teens stabbed once   
   officers responded just before midnight.   
      
   Police told the New York Post there were no arrests made as of Tuesday   
   morning, with an investigation "ongoing."   
      
   In a statement, Fairfield Prep Director of Communications Colleen Adams   
   said the school was "mourning" the loss of McGrath, "a beloved student"   
   and "athlete on the football and lacrosse teams."   
      
   "He will forever be a member of the Prep Brotherhood," Adams said in a   
   statement. "More than 1,000 people gathered at a private prayer service on   
   campus Sunday, followed by a schoolwide service Monday morning where   
   President Christian Cashman addressed the students, faculty, and staff."   
      
   "I offer Prep's loving condolences and embrace of the McGrath family once   
   more," she added. "May the Spirit of healing peace and love enfold them,   
   and may we be instruments of peace and healing in the days ahead. May God   
   bless Jimmy McGrath, Class of 2023, forever a Man for Others, forever a   
   Son of Fairfield Prep."   
      
   School Principal Kathy Riddle said counseling sessions are being made   
   available throughout the week.   
      
   The three other victims have since spoken to police, WTIC reports.   
      
   "It’s sad to see what’s happening to our teenagers and that they are   
   making so many wrong mistakes and decisions, and I feel so scared for my   
   kids growing up and going to school," Christina Louis-Fin, who lives   
   across the street, told the outlet.   
      
   Another neighbor, who happens to be a nurse, saw the fight happen and   
   heard screams before she went over to try and help McGrath, her son told   
   WABC 7.   
      
   "She walked out and she saw what was happening and [she] walked over and   
   gave the kid CPR before he passed away," said Peter McCarthy.
