"The girl was on the playground at Bubb Elementary School, at 525 Hans Ave., when she was stabbed three times by the 10-year-old on Wednesday around 3:30 p.m., according to a statement from Mountain View Police. Police found a kitchen knife on the playground. It is still under investigation how the boy got the knife, said police spokeswoman Monica Leon."
"The 10-year-old had run off the campus by the time police arrived, but by looking at security video from homes nearby, an officer recognized the boy from previous interactions, police said. They then borrowed a police dog from Los Altos to track the scent of the boy, who was found at his home, police said."
"The boy will not face prosecution because, due to state law, children under the age of 12 can only be prosecuted for five specific types of crimes such as murder and sexual assault."
A 10-year-old boy stabbed a 7-year-old girl three times on the playground at Bubb Elementary School in Mountain View on Wednesday around 3:30 p.m. A kitchen knife was found at the scene, and authorities are investigating how the boy obtained it. The school was locked down during the incident. The girl received treatment from the fire department and was sent home with a parent. The boy fled campus but was located at his home after officers reviewed security footage and used a police dog to track him. He does not attend the school or program. The boy was detained and transferred to Pacific Clinics, Santa Clara County's juvenile mental health services. Due to state law, children under 12 can only be prosecuted for specific crimes like murder and sexual assault, so the boy will not face prosecution.
