A female student died Monday after she was stabbed multiple times by an intruder at a high school in Stockton, California, authorities said.
The suspect, described as a man in his 40s, was arrested at Amos Alonzo Stagg High School immediately after the attack, according to school officials. The school was on lockdown after the incident. The man walked into the school through a front entrance and was detained by campus police after the incident, Stockton Unified School Superintendent John Ramirez Jr. said at an afternoon news conference.
“A trespasser entered in front of our school today and stabbed one of our students multiple times,” Ramirez said, his voice breaking. “Unfortunately, she did not make it.”
