Keith Srakocic / AP Teen Held on 26 Counts in High School Bloodbath
A
16-year-old Pennsylvania boy was charged Wednesday evening with two
dozen felony counts after 20 students and a security guard were stabbed
or slashed at a suburban Pittsburgh high school.
The
boy, identified as Alex Hribal, a sophomore at Franklin Senior Regional
High School in Murrysville, was held without bail on four counts of
attempted homicide, 21 counts of aggravated assault and a misdemeanor
count of carrying a prohibited weapon.
At
least four people remained in intensive care with life-threatening
injuries after the rampage Wednesday morning at Franklin Senior Regional
High School in the town of Murrysville.
Hribal was remanded to juvenile detention pending a preliminary hearing April 30 in Westmoreland County Magisterial Court.
Prosecutors
told Judge Charles R. Conway that Hribal "randomly and
indiscriminately" wielded his knives in a hallway at the school and
indicated that "he wanted to die."
They said it was unclear whether he was competent to stand trial.
Attorneys
for Hribal — who sat head-down in court in a hospital gown, bearing
numerous bandages and stitches with his hands and feet shackled — asked
for a psychiatric evaluation.
