RAMONA, Calif. (KGTV) - A Ramona High School student was injured, and another one was placed in custody, following a stabbing outside the campus Tuesday.

San Diego County Sheriff's Deputies responded to reports of a stabbing at the campus at about 11:40 a.m. and arrived to find a 15-year-old male in front of the school being attended to by several school staff members.

The victim was treated at the scene and transported to a nearby hospital.

The suspect was identified as a 16-year-old male also attending summer classes and knew the victim, according to SDSO Public Information Officer Ryan Keim.
