ANAHEIM (CNS) - An Orangeview Junior High School girl was hospitalized in critical condition today after attempting to take her own life, triggering a lockdown and then the dismissal of all students on campus for the day.
The girl, whose name was not released, is 12 to 14 years old.
Police were called to the school at 3715 W. Orange Ave. at 8:30 a.m., according to Sgt. Shane Carringer of the Anaheim Police Department.

The girl was taken to an area hospital, where she was in critical condition, Carringer said.
