Burbank police responded to the campus around 2:45 p.m. after receiving reports of an altercation involving several students.

Officers arrived at the scene and determined the stabbing occurred at the parking lot of a shopping plaza adjacent to the school. Both the victims and suspects fled the scene before police arrived.
