Dublin riots follow school stabbing; police car, buses set ablaze #busessetablaze #Dublinriots #policecar

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) -- Authorities are investigating a stabbing on the main campus of Tallahassee Community College.

The TCC Police Chief says a call came in around 1:13 p.m. that a fight had broken out at the student union and one person was stabbed multiple times.

The victim was taken to the hospital. Police were unable to provide an update on their condition.

No other injuries were reported.

An alert was sent out to students around 1:32 p.m. Tuesday, informing students of an assault on campus and describing a black male suspect in a dark blue sweatshirt and pants, heading towards Progress Drive and Pensacola Street.

A short time later, an update was sent out reading, "Campus is open and classes will continue. To assist responders, avoid the area near the west side of the student union."

Police say the suspect fled the scene heading west. They say they are currently following up on leads in the investigation.

Fun Fact: There are twice as many suicides as homicides every year. The reason you don't know that is something called the Werther effect. Basically reporting on suicides leads to likely copycat suicides. Hence why the news rarely, if ever, reports suicides.

So...you want to reduce school shootings/stabbings? Don't focus on gun control; focus on not reporting the perpetrator. These are young, often mentally fragile, kids, filled with affect, that just want to "show the world." They see their jacked up peers making headline news and want to emulate the results. It's a way to make a statement about their "pain/plight/BS" in the most public of light.

Stop reporting who the perpetrator is, stop showing their face and don't publish these jackasses "manifestos."

A 16-year-old Pennsylvania boy was charged Wednesday evening with two dozen felony counts after 20 students and a security guard were stabbed a suburban P… Read more here

*So if you read up, this boy is a well-adjusted, and well-rounded kid by all accounts; has never been bullied, nor does he have any priors. Why would he do this?  Interested to know your take on it folks…

The plot seems all too familiar now. Screams break out, ambulance and police sirens blare, and the collective heart of the nation drops as our worst fear is again made a reality. Another attack on a school. 

Early Wednesday, CNN reported that an unidentified attacker, a teenage boy, walked into Franklin Regional Senior High School in Murrysville, Pennsylvania, and started stabbing everyone he saw. The attacker, a sophomore student at Franklin High, wielded two knives and has put at least 20 in the hospital, some with life-threatening injuries. Among the injured is William Yakshe, one of three security guards contracted by the school. They guard Franklin High alongside one full-time police officer. Yakshe was stabbed while attempting to subdue the suspect and get him into police custody, which he was able to do despite his wounds. Other than Yakshe, there is no indication that any other non-students are among the injured. A fire alarm was pulled during the attack, which police sources say may have saved lives, getting people out of the building and out of the path of the attacker. Victims have been spread among several hospitals across the greater-Pittsburgh area, and range in age from 14 to 17. No guns were involved. 

So, again, the nightmare returns. The shock is the same. The disbelief is the same. The pain is the same. For all the hope that the possibility of gun reform has brought, we still have our hearts broken, and our fear for the safety of our children still increases. For all the comfort parents might feel knowing that there are security guards at their child’s school, they are all a little more terrified today. If there had been a gun, or if there had been no security, we could be mourning 50 instead of praying for 20, but that is no solace. The 30 that might have been saved will never weigh on our minds like the 20 we almost lost, and still might lose. Today we are reminded, brutally and painfully as ever, that monsters still exist that want to take our children from us. Our hearts, our heads, and our tears all fall together today.
