Some of the reports say that teachers broke up their fight but at that moment, the freshman took out his folding knife and stabbed the juniors. This attack has shocked the entire Santa Rosa – a community best known for its wineries about 50 miles (80.5 kilometers) north of San Francisco – and prompted a lockdown of several nearby schools as officials searched for the suspect.
