A 13-year-old boy in the US has been pronounced dead after an incident at his California middle school.
The boy, identified as Diego, was hit in the face by one student and sucker-punched in the head by the other, resulting in his head being knocked against a cement pillar, authorities have said.

Cellphone footage shows the vicious attack of the Moreno Valley Landmark Middle School student.
The second attack on Diego sends him to the ground, hitting a cement pillar.
The first attacker is then seen to run over and continuously punch the victim while he is on the ground.
