Breaking news, via KDKA Pittsburgh. Six people (not sure all students or teachers or combination of the two) at Franklin Regional HS in Murrysville, PA. Live feed at link.

I hope the perp didn’t use a screw driver. I need my screw drivers.
Prayers said. Thank you PAmom for the updates. I know the area well. My orthodontist was located just down the street from the high school. Murrysville is a very nice area...one we couldn’t afford to live in
The b**ch on CNN seemed to be trying desperately to get the man she was interviewing to say there was one more perp and that perp had a gun.
So now we need knife control laws, right?
No. ‘Time to outlaw public schools; They’re dangerous! They cause children and adults to get shot and stabbed!
Violent crime in Murrysville (up til now) has been significantly, and not surprisingly, lower than the average for Pennsylvania.
this is the sort of thing it would be more likely to hear out of Wilkinsburg HS, or Rankin or even Gateway HS just up the road. Franklin is shocking to me.
WTAE kept the boy, Ritchie, on the phone. He’s a senior, he drives to school. They can’t clear the parking lots yet. He gave great description of inside of bldg. Some crying, but most kids settled down. A lot of police in bldg. Swept the HS bldg twice.
the liberal argument against having armed guards in schools will be tested when the libs claim that it would not be fair to take down a knifer with a gun
So the “knifer” was captured. Good. At least for now he won’t be counted as one of the victims of his savage attack.
That’s what they are saying. The County EMS chief, Dan Stevens, has repeated none of injuries life threatening.
FNC is saying one of the female victims pulled the fire alarm.
That was my thoughts as well. When the shooting happened outside Brashear HS, I KNEW that (knowing that area/population) that it would be drug/gang related.
Franklin Regional just stuns me too. My son (a jr at a neighboring SD) plays soccer w/boys from FR) goes to a similar “good” school. He has texted me twice. News has spread. He was asking if they have given names. He (we) scared for friends there.
“...none of injuries life threatening....”
Well that is good news.
Stitches are better than the morgue.
Curious as to the motive.
Just can’t get over this. I hope your son’s friends are not among the injured.
> WTAE saying that it is rumored to be a student actor.
Last name Booth?
Thanks PennsylvaniaMom.
Thanks. Carol Costello (who has had a comment abot Riush Limbaugh in the past), is being extra annoying over this issue today. She talks like she is whining normally, but she keeps going on “WHY does this keep happening,” or words to that effect.
GREAT NEWS from Forbes Regional Hospital Trauma Unit (Monroeville PA) 8 transported there. Four have “life threatening” injuries, two in surgery now, but ALL expected to survive.
Stories of students rushing to aid injured, had presence of mind to apply pressure. Lives saved til 1st responders arrived. All injuries stab wounds to torso/back. Penetrating wounds.
Forbes Trauma to update again much later.
No updates from PGH hospitals as of yet.
I bet he got his assault knife using the knife show loophole!
