Five people, including an alleged assailant, were hospitalized after a stabbing at South East High School on Friday morning, according to authorities.
A female student was stabbed multiple times during a lunchtime argument shortly before 11 a.m. near the west gate of South East High School, said inspector Matt Levesque of the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
"The male student stabbed the female student, and the dean interceded. He received non-life threating injuries, but was wounded," said LAUSD Superintendent John Deasy. "Another student also jumped in to stop this. That student received injuries, but also non-life threatening."
A school police officer complained of chest pains and was taken to the hospital, said Levesque.
A total of five people -- including the assailant -- were hospitalized, Levesque said.
The school was placed on precautionary lockdown and is scheduled to dismiss on time, said Deasy.
South East High School is located at 2720 Tweedy Blvd. in South Gate.
