Simi Valley Boy Stabbed to Death After School
A 14-year-old Simi Valley boy was stabbed to death as he was boarding a school bus outside his junior high school Tuesday, and police quickly arrested a 13-year-old schoolmate as the suspect.
Ninth-grader Chad Patrick Hubbard, who pitched for his school baseball team, was about to board the bus at Valley View Junior High School as classes ended about 3:20 p.m., when two classmates confronted him, student witnesses said.
One pulled out a knife and, with a sweep of his arm, stabbed Chad in the heart, the students reportedly said.
He was pronounced dead at Simi Valley Adventist Hospital after physicians attempted to revive him.
