“The 10-year-old suspect fled the area before officers arrived,” police said in a news release<\/a>. “During the neighborhood search, officers located residential video. A patrol officer later identified the suspect through the residential video after recognizing him from prior contacts. A Los Altos Police Department K-9 unit assisted in tracking the suspect from the school to the suspect’s residence.”<\/p>\n

Police said officers found the child suffering from three stab wounds to the shoulder. First responders treated the child at the scene before the child to a parent.<\/p>\n

“A kitchen knife believed to have been used in the incident was recovered at the scene,” police said.<\/p>\n

According to authorities, the boy was detained and then transferred to clinicians with Pacific Clinics, which is the area’s juvenile mental health services provider.<\/p>\n

Police said the suspect does not attend Bubb Elementary School and was not enrolled in the after-school program.<\/p>\n
