An ex-student allegedly stabbed three staff members and made a bomb threat at a Torrance special-education school on Monday morning, Oct. 13, according to Torrance police.
The violence broke out about 8:15 a.m. at Switzer Learning Center, a private K-12 special-education school at 2201 Amapola Court, south of Del Amo Boulevard.
The suspect attempted to stab a fourth before he fled.
Officers took the suspect into custody, and he said he placed two pipe bombs in the area of 208 Street and Amapola Avenue, Torrance police said.
The Los Angeles County sheriff’s bomb squad was on the way to the scene to investigate the bomb threat; the public was advised to avoid the area.
Two of the victims were taken to a hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. The third victim was treated at the scene by the Torrance Fire Department.
