Hearing about High School students being the victims of another student, is sadly and alarmingly not very shocking anymore. This morning the parents of around 20 teens at Franklin Regional High School have had the scare of their lives when it was reported a male 10th-grade student went on a stabbing rampage injuring at least 20 people, authorities said.

Initial reports say seven teens are being treated at the Forbes Regional Hospital with stab wounds to their torso, abdomen, chest and back areas, Dr. Chris Kaufmann told CNN. The hospital also admitted one adult who was a security guard at the school.

Several of the hospitalized victims from the Franklin Regional High School outside of Pittsburgh suffered life-threatening injuries, Kaufmann said, the good news is all of them are expected to survive.

The stabbing took place in several classrooms and hallways as the school day began. The suspect, a 16-year-old sophomore was described to be “just running down the hall stabbing kids as they were going by.” Said the vice-president of the security company that had personnel at the school.
