Suspect identified in high school stabbings --- 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. - More, M.
