The stabbing of a 15-year-old girl in Watsonville High School was boy-related, not gang-related.
Authorities are breathing a sigh of relief. The stabbing of a 15-year-old girl in Watsonville High School was boy-related, not gang-related. The victim was airlifted to hospital, and her condition is unknown. Police say she was not the original target of the attack, but simply stepped in when a friend was attacked.
The real gang action took place in Watsonville a day earlier at an East Lake Avenue car wash. Members of rival gangs shot at each other, though police report that no one was hit. Porfirio Melgoza, who was shot at first, was later arrested and released on $25,000 bail. He was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm and of assault with a firearm after he shot back at his assailant. Read more at Fox35 and the Santa Cruz Sentinel.
