Teenage Boy Stabs 22 At Pittsburgh Area High School

Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

A teenage boy ran through his high school with two ordinary kitchen knives, slashing and stabbing anyone who came across his path.

By the time 16-year-old Alex Hribal was finished, 22 people had been wounded including at least three facing critical injuries.

Witnesses say that Hribal, who was described as “quiet and unassuming”, tackled a freshman to the ground in what looked like a typical fistfight.  Nate Moore, a classmate of Hribal, said he went in to break it up when he discovered Hribal was actually stabbing the victim in the stomach.

Hribal then slashed Moore’s face and started his rampage.

An assistant principal at Franklin Regional High School, 15 miles east of Pittsburgh, tackled Hribal and held him until others could help subdue him.

Police say Hribal is facing four counts of attempted murder and 18 counts of aggravated assault.  He will reportedly be tried as an adult.

His lawyers are asking for a psychological evaluation.  Witnesses say during the assault that Hribal’s face stayed completely expressionless and police say he has only commented that he wants to die.
