      Some elementary school kids were on lockdown this afternoon in North Delta as a result of a violent incident as classes were ending for the day.

      An off-duty Delta police officer witnessed an assault between a man and a woman outside Immaculate Conception on 119th Street.

      The officer intervened, only to be stabbed by a male assailant who also stabbed the woman.

      The officer and the women are both in serious condition in hospital.

      When police converged on the school, the suspect was arrested. He's now in custody.
