SANTA ANA, Calif. — 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.
