There were two incidents on Santa Rosa High School campuses yesterday involving knives. First at Santa Rosa High School when early in the morning two students got into a gang related altercation and one pulled out a kitchen knife and slashed the other boy. The 14-year old victim called family members who transported him to the hospital for treatment for non-life threatening wounds. SRPD was notified and launched an investigation, eventually locating the 16-year old suspect at his home. Inside they found the knife, parts of a handgun and gang related items. While that was taking place, a student at Montgomery High was identified as having a 9-inch folding knife on campus. Staff attempted to search him on campus, but he was able to escape. Police were called when staff eventually detained him off-campus and recovered the knife.
