SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — One student was killed and two others
were wounded in a stabbing in front of a Southern California
high school Wednesday, authorities said.
The three male Santa Ana High students were taken to a hospital,
where one of them died and the other two were in stable
condition, according to city police spokesperson Officer Natalie
Garcia.
The stabbing happened in the afternoon as students were leaving
school for the day, district spokesperson Fermin Leal said. The
incident involved both students and nonstudents.
Authorities were searching for at least two suspects whose
connection to the school and motive were not clear, Garcia said.
Other details such as the ages of the victims were not
immediately made public.
After-school programs and athletics were canceled, and officials
said the school would make crisis counselors available Thursday.
Santa Ana is a city of about 300,000 people roughly 30 miles (50
kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles. The school serves roughly
3,000 students.
