Twenty people have been injured - some with life-threatening wounds - in a stabbing spree Wednesday morning at Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville, Pennsylvania.
Murrysville police chief Thomas Seefeld confirmed a 16-year-old male student is in custody. He said an assistant principal wrestled the suspect to the ground after he ran through multiple classrooms and hallways brandishing two knives.
Four of the victims were airlifted to hospital and three were being operated on, according to Westmoreland County emergency management and hospital officials. Forbes Regional Hospital in Monroeville and five other hospitals including Allegheny General Hospital and UPMC-Presby were treating patients.
The majority of victims are 14-17 year old students though one adult - a male security guard - suffered a stomach wound, Seefeld confirmed.
Police were called to the school by a resource officer about 7:13 a.m., about 15 minutes after the school doors opened for the day. One witness told NBC News that he saw 'blood all over the floor.'

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
