Gilroy Police Sgt. Lamonte Toney said during a fight between two boys, one pulled out a knife and stabbed the other. A school-resource officer and school staff broke up the altercation.
Toney said the injured student was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, and that the student suspected in the stabbing was arrested.
Emergency dispatch recordings archived online indicated that the injured boy was stabbed in his hip and was conscious and breathing when he was taken away in an ambulance.
The campus was locked down for about an hour as a precaution and to allow police to investigate the incident, Toney said. He added that no one else was involved in the fight, and no other injuries were reported.
