VALPARAISO, Ind. - A Valparaiso High School student pulled out two
knives inside a classroom and sliced eight other students at the start
of school Wednesday, police said. None of the injuries was believed to
be life-threatening.
The student who committed the attack was in custody and the school
about 20 miles southeast of Gary had been placed on lockdown,
Valparaiso police spokesman Michael Grennes said. He said the attack
happened around 8 a.m. in a Spanish class.
Jeni Bell, a spokeswoman for Porter Memorial Hospital in Valparaiso,
said the students suffered severe cuts and one suffered a hip injury.
But Grennes said the injuries weren’t life-threatening.
“At this time, we’ve got a number of students who have been injured,”
Grennes said. “They’ve all been transported to the hospital and all
the parents have been notified.”
Grennes declined to release additional details about the attack,
including a possible motive, pending a news conference scheduled at
1:30 p.m. ET.
School employees said no one was immediately available to comment.
