(Reuters) - A Connecticut high school girl was killed on Friday in an attack inside the school and authorities were investigating reports that she was stabbed by a fellow student after rejecting his invitation to the prom, police said.

The victim, Maren Sanchez, 16, a junior at Jonathan Law High School in Milford, was pronounced dead at the hospital shortly after the 7 a.m. attack, Milford Police Chief Keith Mello told a news conference.

Mello said she was stabbed by a 16-year-old male, who is now in custody.

"There was blood on her neck. It was awful," said 16-year-old Sam Garcia, a junior at the school, as he walked home. "I saw the girl lying on the stretcher when they took her out."
