PALMDALE, Calif. -- One person was stabbed Friday during a brawl outside Palmdale High School, just hours before the school's planned graduation ceremony, according to the sheriff's department.
The victim, identified only as a young, black male, was not a student at the school, sheriff's Detective Steven Gross reportedly said. He reportedly said the young man was stabbed multiple times after a group of students called him over from across the street just after school had ended for the day. His condition was not immediately available.
A melee involving baseball bats then broke out near the school's athletic field, Gross reportedly said.
Two teens were arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly hitting two people with baseball bats and swinging at a school security officer, sheriff's officials said.
Authorities were still searching for the stabbing suspect.
The station reported that sheriff's deputies seized several weapons, including a Taser gun and a screwdriver. Investigators are still trying to determine what prompted the melee.
Palmdale High School's graduation ceremony is expected to go on as planned Friday night.
Out law knives. And sharp glass. And lawn mower blades. And razors. And.....
Oh, sorry. I just got done reading a Brady Gun Control thread. Never mind.
lol don't forget screwdrivers...

Okay, that's it, I've had it. It's clearly time to impose common-sense speech control! That'll put a s top to this calling over and then stabbing business!
Important lesson: If a gang of knife wielding thugs calls you from across the street, don't go.
