Stabbing at California high school leaves 1 student dead, another wounded
Stabbing at California high school leaves 1 student dead, another wounded
One teenager was killed and another was wounded in a stabbing at a California high school on Wednesday, authorities said.
The incident unfolded around 11 a.m. PT at Montgomery High School in Santa Rosa, about 55 miles north of San Francisco. The Santa Rosa Police Department received 911 calls about a fight between students and dispatched officers to the scene. Upon arrival minutes later, the officers found two male students -- both juniors -- who had been stabbed but were "alert and conscious," according to Santa Rosa Police Chief John Cregan.
Cregan said the officers determined through an initial investigation that the two juniors had entered a classroom and engaged in a physical altercation with another male student -- a freshman. There were 27 students, one teacher and three teacher's aides inside the classroom at the time. As an initial fight broke out, the teacher and aides intervened. But moments later, the fight continued and that's when the freshman allegedly pulled out a knife, stabbing the two juniors, according to Cregan.
Both juniors then left the classroom to assess their injuries and seek help from the school nurse before police arrived on scene. The officers learned that the 15-year-old suspect, whose name was not released, had fled the school after the incident, Cregan said.

Eerily similar to the death of a Minnesota student last month. So far at least 3 people have been shot in related incidents.
