Pennsylvania (B2B) - Seorang murid berusia 16 tahun yang memegang dua pisau melakukan penusukan secara membabi buta di koridor sebuah sekolah menengah atas di Pittsburgh pada Rabu hingga melukai 22 orang.
Murid tersebut kemudian dibekuk oleh wakil kepala sekolah, kata para petugas.
Si penyerang bergerak secara diam-diam di sepanjang koridor Franklin Regional High Schools, menusuk korban-korbannya serta melukai tangan dan wajah mereka, kata murid-murid dan petugas, seperti dilansir Yahoo News.
Beberapa korban luka-luka yang dibawa ke rumah-rumah sakit terdekat berada dalam kondisi kritis, kata dokter.
Murid tahun kedua yang menjadi tersangka penusukan itu sudah ditahan oleh polisi, kata Tom Seefeld, kepala kepolisian di Murrysville, Pennsylvania.
"Ia melakukannya secara diam-diam, jadi pada awalnya tidak ada yang sadar apa yang sedang terjadi," kata murid tahun pertama, Josh Frank.
Si penyerang, yang digambarkan oleh teman kelasnya sebagai sosok yang pendiam dan tertutup, mulai melancarkan serangan sekitar pukul 7.13 pagi waktu setempat.
Sekolah itu sendiri terletak di Murrysville, yakni 32 kilometer di Pittsburgh timur.
Wakil Kepala Sekolah Sam King berhasil melumpuhkan murid laki-laki yang bersenjatakan dua "pisau lurus" berukuran 20-25 centimeter..
Pennsylvania - A 16-year-old student wielding two knives went on a stabbing rampage in the hallways of a Pittsburgh-area high school on Wednesday, wounding 22 people before he was tackled by an assistant principal, officials said.
The attacker moved furtively through the halls of Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville, stabbing his victims in the torso and slashing their arms and faces, students and officials said. Some of the injured taken to nearby hospitals were listed in critical condition.
Alex Hribal, a 16-year-old sophomore, was taken into custody, said Captain Rob Liermann of the Murrysville Police Department.
Charged as an adult, Hribal faces four counts of attempted homicide and 21 counts of aggravated assault, Liermann said, and was ordered to face a preliminary hearing in seven to 10 days.
Students described a scene of panic, with the school hastily evacuated after a fire alarm was pulled.
"He did it so stealthily that at first no one knew what was happening," freshman Josh Frank said. "We heard a girl scream bloody murder. Then two seniors were running down the hall and we followed them out of the school."
The attacker, described by a classmate as a quiet boy who kept to himself, began the stabbings at around 7:13 a.m. EDT (12.13 p.m. British Time), walking along the hallways to several classrooms at the school in Murrysville, 20 miles (32 km) east of Pittsburgh, officials said.
Assistant Principal Sam King tackled the boy, who was armed with two straight knives about 8 to 10 inches (20 to 25 cm) long, and an armed security officer handcuffed him with help from King, said Murrysville Police Chief Thomas Seefeld.
