High school student in Newhall stabbed in fight believed to be over boy
A 16-year-old girl at William S. Hart High School was stabbed on the campus with a kitchen knife Wednesday during a lunchtime fight over a boy with another female student, Los Angeles County Sheriff's officials said.
The incident was reported at 12:38 p.m. in the 24800 block of Newhall Avenue. The victim was taken to Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital with a stab wound in the chest, said Sheriff's Lt. Tom Bryski.
The girl believed to have done the stabbing also was hospitalized with unspecified injuries.
According to Bryski, a teacher found the girls fighting between two buildings on the campus during the lunch hour.
When the teacher intervened, he found that one of the girls had an 8-inch kitchen knife and noticed that the other student had a puncture wound in her chest.
Bryski said it appears the fight may have stemmed from an argument over a boy but said the investigation was in its early stages.

Who the hell fights over a dumb boy? Geez, talk about teenagers going off the rails.

Being that teenagers can be just as if not more violent than adults, I disagree with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that executing teenagers for murder is cruel and unusual punishment.

Its not that unheard of for kids to act out in such a manner over someone they like . when things like this happen all we can / should be thinking to our self is "what are mom and dad doing to make this person think that is how to deal with issues in your life" with out someone teaching you right from wrong how will you know not to stab people.

RAYRAY...You can't blame the parents on everything...every 16 year old in this country knows that stabbing each other over a boy is not the smartest thing to do. My parents were great and we were taught right from wrong. I decided to go one way and have an honest living and my brother decided to go the other path and I dont blame my parents for my brother...I blame my brother and only him for his stupid choices. Don't blame others for there stupid actions!!!
