Campus Crimes Kept Quiet

San Francisco, CA
The NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit filed nearly 100 public records requests with law enforcement agencies, school districts and the state, and found chilling crimes on Bay Area high school and middle school campuses that were never reported to the public.

The system that’s supposed to track which schools are dangerous in California is not taking into account some serious crimes, including an attempted murder at Pioneer High School in San Jose.
Sources say the case began when a student at Pioneer began harassing a female classmate in the spring of 2009.

He was eventually transferred to another school, but days after the move, returned to campus in a black trench coat. Sources said the principal spotted the student and called police.
Shortly after, the girl he was accused of harassing, exited a classroom. Sources said he ran toward her, reaching into his coat pocket. Police tackled him, and found inside his jacket, a 14-inch knife and two suicide notes.

The student was tried as a juvenile and convicted of attempted murder.
