Middle school stabbing suspect leaves district

 

The student who allegedly stabbed another at Woodland Middle School two weeks ago is no longer enrolled in the Coeur d’Alene School District.

On March 11, one eighth-grade boy stabbed another multiple times with a pocketknife. The boy was treated at Kootenai Medical Center for non-life-threatening injuries.

The school was locked down for 15 minutes following the stabbing while police searched for the boy with the pocketknife. He was found a short distance away from the school and booked into Kootenai County Juvenile Detention Center on a charge of aggravated battery, police said.

The Spokesman-Review generally does not publish the names of juveniles accused of crimes, but the newspaper obtained the name of the student and confirmed with the district that he is no longer enrolled.

Citing federal privacy laws, district spokeswoman Laura Rumpler declined to disclose specifics of disciplinary actions.

    “On March 11, one eighth-grade boy stabbed another multiple times with a pocketknife.”

    Wow. Just wow.

    I guess I can’t and never will understand how a kid (or adult) could have that much anger inside to physically harm another person. More specifics would be helpful to see what may have provoked the attack, but it looks like that won’t happen since they’re minors.

    Whatever happened to ‘talking things out’?
