The 15-year-old fled and was later arrested for investigation of homicide, attempted homicide and other charges. Police have not released his name, and it was not immediately clear if he had an attorney. More than two dozen students were inside the classroom during the fight, as well as a teacher and teacher's aides. Police said they are still investigating what the argument was about.
The attack shocked Santa Rosa — a community best known for its wineries about 50 miles north of San Francisco — and prompted lockdowns of several nearby schools as officers searched for the teenage suspect. The school was closed for the rest of the week. The families of both victims of a deadly stabbing at a Santa Rosa high school are blaming the campus for what happened. Jodi Hernandez reports.
