Multiple Students Stabbed at California High School

Four students were injured Wednesday in a brawl and stabbing outside Van Nuys High School that led to a campus lockdown.

The fight involving 11 students and stabbing were reported in the quad area of the campus.

All of the injured victims were teen boys under 18, the Los Angeles Fire Department said.

A student used an ‘unidentified’ weapon to stab two others teens, 16 and 15.

They were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Los Angeles School District Superintendent Alberto

Two other students were also injured in the fight, with one hospitalized with assault injuries.

The second student, a 16-year-old, was evaluated at the scene.

Images from the scene showed one student being taken out in a stretcher.

At least three juveniles were detained for questioning at the scene, Carvalho said.

There have been no arrests.

There has been a recent surge of gang activity in the San Fernando Valley which has spilled into several public schools including Van Nuys High, per the LA Times.

LAPD has asked that anyone with information on the stabbing contact police.

The Los Angeles Unified school district said the high school will remain on lockdown until police give the all-clear.

‘Students are safe, and LASPD will stay on scene and continue to provide safety and support to students and employees. Parents of students have been notified,’ the LAUSD said in a statement.

As of 1pm PST, students remained on lockdown and lunch would be brought to them, officials said. The school might also release students on a staggered dismissal.

‘This is one of those moments where you hold your breath and hope the initial information is not as bad as what actually occurred,’ Superintendent Carvalho said.

He added: ‘One incident like this one is one incident too many.’
