About 100 students walked out during a break at John Marshall High School in Los Feliz Thursday, demanding improved security measures after the on-campus stabbing Wednesday of two students.
The students said the stabbings came after another on-campus student assault in a classroom earlier this week, raising their fears about campus safety. Several students who walked out said school administrators need to do a better job protecting them and said various measures could be taken, including more accessible mental health counseling, a stronger police presence and random searches for weapons and drugs.
Periodic random searches would be an invasion of privacy, said 10th grader Gabrielle Ghazarian, “at the same time, if we really want to make sure that everyone is safe and everyone is not bringing things that are a danger to themselves or other people to school, I feel like it may be something that is worth considering.”Her classmate Marina Wells disagreed, and would oppose returning to the previous practice of stationing a police officer on campus.
A person of interest was detained and released, said Nina Buranasombati, a Los Angeles School Police Department spokesperson. She could not say whether the person was a student. No weapon was recovered, she said. The stabbing arose out of an altercation, Besunder said. Detectives interviewed the victims at the hospital early Wednesday evening.
