What now for the gun control nuts? Do we ban knives? We’re sure if you make the school a “knife-free” zone then this certainly won’t happen again (sarcasm implied).

Crimes like the one below don’t fit the narrative of the gun grabbers so they’re not mentioned. This horrific crime happened in 2014 and just last month the attacker tried for a reduced sentence. The high school sophomore was sentenced to 40 years in prison for the rampage with two knives.

A HORRIBLE CRIME

Twenty-two people were injured when a 16-year-old boy went on a stabbing rampage at a Pennsylvania high school early Wednesday, leaving five students in critical condition, authorities said.

Sophomore Alex Hribal allegedly brandished two large knives in the bloody attack as he darted between several classrooms and down a hallway at Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville — a typically peaceful community about 18 miles east of Pittsburgh.

NYDN reports:

Twenty-one students and an adult security guard were wounded, officials said.

Witnesses said the boy, who was wearing a “blank expression” on his face, first tackled a freshman and stabbed him in the belly before getting up and running wildly down the hall, slashing other students.

One boy suffered a pierced liver after being thrust with one of the 8-to-10-inch knives, narrowly missing his heart and aorta, doctors said.

WAS THE SECURITY GUARD ARMED?

The teen was finally tackled by an assistant principal and a security guard, who were able to subdue him until police arrived.
