ABILENE, Texas (AP) — A recently suspended Texas high school student stabbed two of his classmates Thursday morning before fleeing campus, officials said.
Police arrested the student about 30 minutes after the 8 a.m. attack at Abilene High School, police spokesman Rick Tomlin told KTXS-TV.
Medics took both victims to a hospital in ambulances. Their condition was unknown. Tomlin said all three students are male and “around 16” but declined to identify them because they are minors.
The attack seems to have been targeted, he said. At least one of the victims had a “previous altercation” with the attacker, Tomlin said, without giving details.
