SANTA ANA, California — Three students were stabbed in front of a high school in Southern California on Wednesday, killing one and hurting two others.
Officer Natalie Garcia, a spokeswoman for the city police, said that the three male SHS students were taken to the hospital, where one of them died and the other two were in stable condition.
A district spokesman, Fermin Leal, said the stabbing happened in the afternoon, as kids were leaving for the day. There were both students and non-students participating in the incident.
Garcia said that police were looking for at least two suspects who had no clear ties to the school or reason for the attack.
Other information, like how old the victims were, wasn’t made public right away.
Sports and after-school activities were cancelled, and the school said Thursday that crisis counsellors would be available.
There are about 300,000 people living in Santa Ana, which is about 30 miles (50 kilometres) southeast of Los Angeles. About 3,000 kids go to this school.
