Teen stabs 22 at Pittsburgh-area high school

MURRYSVILLE, Pa. (AP) - Flailing away with two kitchen knives, a 16-year-old boy with a "blank expression" stabbed and slashed 21 students and a security guard in the crowded halls of his suburban Pittsburgh high school before an assistant principal tackled him.
"At least five students were critically wounded, including a boy whose liver was pierced by a knife thrust that narrowly missed his heart and aorta, doctors said. Others also suffered deep abdominal puncture wounds."
"The rampage - which came after decades in which U.S. schools geared much of their emergency planning toward mass shootings, not stabbings - set off a screaming stampede, left blood on the floor and walls, and brought teachers rushing to help the victims."

Looks like we'll be urged to pass laws to ban kitchen knives next. But that's already in the works. Pretty soon Piers Morgan, or some TV talking head like him, will be telling us to give up our knives.
