A student stabbed or slashed around 20 others Wednesday at a high school in the US state of Pennsylvania, officials said.
“These are significant injuries,” Chris Kaufmann, the trauma medical director at Forbes Regional Hospital, told the media.
Dan Stevens, a spokesman for Westmoreland County emergency management, said the suspect is a male student who has been taken into custody.
Stevens said he was cornered by police officers who rushed to the scene.
His age and identity were not immediately released.
