FULL TITLE: Girl, 16, on the run after vicious hammer and knife attack on another female student at their Catholic high school

Authorities in Nebraska are searching tonight for a 16-year-old student who allegedly slashed another girl in the face with a knife and beat her across the head with a hammer today.

Lincoln police said that Pius X student Sarah Piccolo attacked 17-year-old Ellen Kopetzky in the bathroom of the Catholic high school just before 9.45 a.m. (CDT).

The school immediately went into lock-down following the shocking event and Piccolo is said to have fled the scene in a grey 1992 Buick Park Avenue with Nebraska plate number TJM 557.

Lincoln Police Captain David Beggs confirmed that a large survival knife was recovered from the bathroom along with a claw hammer and so far, investigators have not speculated on a motive.

'It would be to her benefit to contact us,' Beggs said.

Piccolo is described as 5-foot 5-inches, 105 pounds, with brown hair and her family said that they were terrified for her.

'I’m just scared to death,' Sarah’s father, John Piccolo, said to the Journal Star. 'She’s out driving. She’s scared. She’s running.

'We don’t know where she’s at.'

The family of Ellen Kopetzky confirmed that she had undergone surgery at Bryan West Campus to treat multiple injuries and asked for well-wishers to offer prayers.

She might be hiding behind the dangling preposition.

It’s not like they have enough info to find out who this person is

Sarah Piccolo is said to have fled the scene in a grey 1992 Buick Park Avenue with Nebraska plate number TJM 557. Piccolo is described as 5-foot 5-inches, 105 pounds, with brown hair and her family said that they were terrified for her.

I wonder.... oh probably the same person

Question: If the school "immediately went into lock-down following the shocking event", how is it that the perpetrator "fled the scene in a 1992 Buick Park Avenue with Nebraska plate number TJM 557"?

Then again, maybe I'm not grasping the Newspeak definitions words such as "immediately", "follow" and "lock-down"

I have told my kids to violate every lock down instituted and rendezvous at our assign point and I will pick them up. They are safer with me. Someone drops a lunch try and school’s go into lock down.

“a large survival knife was recovered from the bathroom along with a claw hammer”

They sure have a lot more accessories in the girl’s bathrooms than they do in the boy’s.

Proving once again that humor can be found in even the most tragic of events, as long as police officials are willing to quote from the "Dumb Things to Say When Addressing At-Large Criminals" Handbook.

Oh boy, here we go again? Another Caril Fugate, on the run in Nebraska, lets hope there is no Charles Starkweather to join her. I still remember that escapade.

Homeschoolers mostly miss out on this sort of socialization. Their loss, I suppose.

This girl must be really mental is all I can say. I’ll keep on this story and see what her deal was.

You think that's bad? My cousins used to say things like "Where at is it?"

But seriously... why point out the bad grammar on such a serious matter? I pray for the victim and the families of both. I hope they find this girl.

"She might be hiding behind the dangling preposition."

Indeed. Very poor construction.

Everyone knows it should be "We don't know where she be at"

Apostrophe alert: Why oh why did you write “school’s go into lockdown”?

Because the quasi-illiteracy rampant in the media - and on FR - drives some of us quasi-crazy.
