Horror as boy, 10, stabs seven-year-old girl at luxury California area school

Summary: A scary event happened at an elementary school in a very wealthy California neighborhood. A 10-year-old boy stabbed a 7-year-old girl three times in the shoulder while she was on the playground. The boy ran away, but police used home security cameras and police dogs to track him down at his house.

The girl was treated by firefighters right at the school and went home with her parents. Thankfully, she is expected to be okay. The boy didn't even go to that school, and police don't know if the two kids knew each other. Now, the boy is getting help from mental health doctors for kids. Neighbors are completely shocked that a 10-year-old could do something like this with a kitchen knife.
