MURRYSVILLE (KDKA/AP) – At least 20-people have been injured
in a stabbing at Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville. The attack occurred in crowded hallways just minutes before
the start of school.
At least five students were critically wounded, including a
boy who was on a ventilator after a knife pierced his liver, missing his heart
and aorta by only millimeters, doctors said. An injured school officer was
discharged. A school security guard called in the stabbing at 7:13 a.m. Witnesses said the boy with the knives at first tackled a
freshman and stabbed him in the belly, then got up and ran wildly down the
hall, slashing other students.
Nate Moore, 15, said he saw the first attack and was going
to try to break it up when the boy got up and slashed his face, requiring 11
stitches. “It was really fast. It felt like he hit me with a wet rag
because I felt the blood splash on my face. It spurted up on my forehead,” he
said.
The attacker “had the same expression on his face that he
has every day, which was the freakiest part,” Moore said. “He wasn’t saying
anything. He didn’t have any anger on his face. It was just a blank
expression.”
