RINGLING, Okla -- A middleschooler is recovering in the hospital Friday night after a fight turns into a stabbing. It happened outside the Ringling Middle School Friday afternoon.

Police say a 14-year-old and a 12-year-old got into a scuffle this morning. Then, officials say sometime during lunch or recess, the 12-year-old stabbed the teen. Police say the younger boy pulled a knife from out of his hoodie and stabbed the teen in self-defense, after the teen punched the younger boy.

"He never really started it. They started it by circling him and pushing him around, which led up to him being fearful of his life and him going to the extreme of pulling a knife and stabbing the boy," said Ringling Police Chief Jeremy Wilson.

Police say no charges will be filed against the 12-year-old. They say the case has been handed back over to the Ringling School.
