Several people were stabbed Wednesday morning at a high school near Pittsburgh, and a suspect was taken into custody, an emergency official said.

Dan Stevens, the spokesman for Westmoreland County emergency management, said five or six people were reported stabbed at about 7:20 a.m. at Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville, about 15 miles east of Pittsburgh.

It wasn't immediately clear if the suspect and the victims are students, adults or a mix of both. It doesn't appear that any of the victims suffered life-threatening injuries, Stevens said, though several helicopters were seen flying people from the scene to area hospitals.

If that ain't the truth about how it was done in my day.

Someone got their ass kicked and pretty much that was the end of it .... kind'a like market economics ... the people know what to do, how to do it and when.

Actually they will use it as an argument for more gun control pointing out that existing gun laws are actually working because the perp was forced to use a knife.

Only chefs should have knives. We should all dismantle our kitchens and eat 3 meals a day at restaurants.

Given the area, it is probably a white teen.

Murrysville is the home town of Lisa Marie, my granddaughter’s room mate in Ghana. Her brother is a student there, he is OK.

That is where my Daughter graduated from. I’m five miles away in northeast Murrysville. Things have gone down hill the past couple of years according to the teachers.

Anyone wanna bet the perp is on some form of meds for depression or some other Rx the schools felt were necessary for the continued well being of the child?

It is traumatic when it involves folks that you know.

Trust me. Someone will be along to say the person identified as the perp was one of the dead students at Newtown.
