The Stockton Police Department says Anthony Gray was booked into the San Joaquin County Jail for investigation of murder. The girl was stabbed several times around 11 a.m. Monday at Stagg High School and died at a hospital. Authorities say the assailant attacked before school security and staff could stop him.
