Following a fatal stabbing at Montgomery High School in Northern California, a 15-year-old pupil has been arrested and charged with homicide and other offenses.
The assault occurred in a full art classroom, resulting in the tragic death of a 16-year-old junior and the injury of another student. The suspect, a 15-year-old freshman, allegedly fled the classroom before being arrested and booked on felony accusations of murder, attempted murder, and possession of a weapon on school grounds.
Principal Adam Paulson referred to the assault as “the darkest day anyone can remember at Montgomery High” in a message to parents, students, and the school community.
Although the cause of the conflict is unknown, it appears that the three students knew each other and had previously fought.
The school district has not yet issued a statement regarding the incident, and the investigation is ongoing.
