13-YEAR OLD GIRL STABS CLASSMATE AND TWO STAFF

By Bob Walsh

 

It seems that the young lady, who is now 14, wanted to be famous.  So she took a multi-tool from her dad's fishing kit to school with her and stabbed a female student.  She then attacked two staff members.  One of them was so badly injured that she had to be airflighted to a hospital.  

The young lady admitted to the stabbings, but denies that she attempted to kill any of her victims.  That may be hard to square with her statements of "I'm going to fucking kill you" while she was stabbing Fiona Elias, the deputy head of the school.  She was finally restrained by other staff while attempting to stab a second female student.

Several months earlier she was found to have a kitchen knife in her bag at school.  She was allowed to continue at school but only if staff was allowed to search her belongings on a regular basis.

Because the young lady is a minor she is referred to only by her first name in court proceedings, which are not released to the public.  Also she is seated in the gallery in the court rather than in the dock.
