Fox News: 20 wounded in multiple stabbings at Pennsylvania high school

Twenty people, including 19 students, were wounded — four seriously — during a stabbing spree early Wednesday at a high school near Pittsburgh and a 16-year-old male student is in custody, authorities say.

As word of the incident spread and children streamed out of the school, parents told FoxNews.com were shocked by the attack.

“Nobody’s ever prepared for something like that as a parent,” Matt Provenzo, who had dropped his son, Mark, off at Franklin Regional High School moments after the stabbings, told FoxNews.com. "As he got out of the car, you could see students exiting the building and that the fire alarm was pulled … There were a few students who were visibly upset."

A. Not at all

Oh, and there's this, too:

Alicia Graham characterized the 16-year-old suspect as a "small, skinny" classmate who didn't talk much. She didn't know him personally, but has acquaintances who do, she said.

Wouldn't want to attempt to make a judgment from 1,300 miles away, but he sounds like the kind of kid who would have brought a gun to school, once upon a time. But now they've got metal detectors, School Resource Officers, cameras, etc. So, instead, he brought a knife. And gun control advocates have always claimed "that wouldn't happen."

Spose it will get hard cutting the steak with a fork and spoon when they make knives illegal.

When I was that age I was skinny and didn't talk much, guess I failed. Now small nontalkitive kids will have to take talking classes and eat like mad so they can be obese because the are obviously starved and anti social.

Just an aside when one of our boys was in grade school they wanted to send him to counseling because he was quiet. The teacher said that was abnormal. When I said, "I'm very quiet also, am I also abnormal?" she hung up the phone
