The 14-year-old victim, who was not identified by police, was
on the David Wark Griffith Middle School campus around 3 p.m.
local time when he was stabbed in the chest by another youth,
the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said in a statement.
The victim was transported to a local hospital where he died,
the sheriff's office said. The teen was a student at the nearby
Garfield High School, and authorities did not know why he was at
the middle school.
Local broadcaster KTLA reported that roughly 100 students on
campus for after school activities were locked down for hours as
anxious parents waited to pick them up.
No one has yet been apprehended and the investigation into the
stabbing is ongoing, authorities said. Further details were not
immediately available.
