Van Nuys High School went into lockdown after multiple students were stabbed during a brawl Wednesday.

The stabbings were reported by Los Angeles School Police (LASP) around noon, informing the public that the schools were locked down and students would be dismissed at a modified time.

"We are informing you of a stabbing incident that involved multiple students which took place on our campus," Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho said. "Students are safe, and LASPD will stay on scene and continue to provide safety and support to students and employees. Parents of students involved have been notified."

Students were dismissed at 3:38 p.m., with the school police providing visible patrols near the high school.

"The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority," Carvalho said. "There is no current threat to our campus and all students and staff remain safe."

The fight occurred between 11 students, according to an update from Carvalho, two of whom were stabbed.

The two students were transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, along with two other students.

It is believed that the brawl may have been gang-related, and police detained three students believed to be suspects.
