The article says it's a Middle School. What is an 18 year old doing there? Was she a student?
Sounds like it is a combo Middle-High School campus, to me.
Students and school employees saw the attack shortly before 8 a.m. in a lot shared by Carolina Forest Middle School and Carolina Forest High School
But I guess the headline writer thought that an 18-year old stabbed outside a high school just wasn't dramatic enough, hence the headline implying a junior high kid was stabbed outside of their school.
It is easier to go through the eye of a needle than to find a headline writer who isn't a dishonest piece of trash.
I'm not sure about down there, but it could have been a 7-12 school.
In one of the neighboring suburbs where I live, the middle and high schools are in the same building under the same school name.
Of course, she also could have been dropping off a sibling for school.
It was the parking lot for both the middle and high school.
