One student is dead and another is charged with murder after a stabbing at a high school in Milford on Friday morning.
The fatal stabbing happened at the Jonathan Law High School on Lansdale Avenue.
"I saw teachers and one teacher was hysterical," said eyewitness Rebecca Golden.
The victim, 16-year-old junior Maren Sanchez, was found with severe neck injuries in a stairwell by a staff member around 7:14 a.m.
"There was a teacher who actually walked upon it and saw a portion of it," said Milford Police Chief Keith Mello.
Staff and EMS attempted lifesaving measures on Sanchez, Mello said. She was transported to Bridgeport Hospital where the student was pronounced dead, police said.
"The unprovoked attack on Maren has unfortunately for our family resulted in the permanent loss of Maren Victoria Sanchez - a bright light full of hopes and dreams with her future at her fingertips," said the victim's cousin Edward Kovac.
The school was locked down immediately after the stabbing. Police said they worked with the Board of Education to dismiss students shortly after the lockdown.

How long before CT passes some stupid "knife control" act, for the children?
All because she didn’t want to go to the prom with him.
The school was locked down immediately “after” the stabbing.
There you have it .... closed the barn door.
They already have “knife control” laws in schools.
As usual, the jounaltards won’t use the word “murder”.......but shouldn’t they use “stabman” or “stabber” or “knifeman”?
She hurt his self-esteem-—everyone gets a trophy.
“The Associated Press is reporting that the motive for the fatal stabbing is Sanchez declined to be the suspect’s date at the junior prom “
CT is a hell hole. The suspect was probably on or off his medication.
