A student flashing two knives went on a stabbing rampage through the classrooms and halls of a high school outside Pittsburgh on Wednesday morning, authorities said. At least 19 students and a security guard were hurt, some with life-threatening injuries.

The suspect, a 16-year-old sophomore, was in custody and being questioned by police, authorities said. His motive was unclear, said Dan Stevens, a Westmoreland County emergency management spokesman.

The first photo of the suspect emerged several hours after the mayhem. NBC News is blurring the face of the teen in the photo, from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, because of his age. He had not been charged or identified.

Horrible, but I just read on CNN that while some of the injuries are critical, they expect everyone to survive. Thank god.

I heard on npr that some of the injuries were serious, but none life-threatening.

ETA: nevermind, just finally managed to read the linked story. Wow, some pretty bad injuries!

Just nuts.

I did hear a police official say that although some are in critical condition, they're expected to survive. How awful for all involved. :(

My thoughts as well. Because it was with a knife, all are expected to survive.

I had the same (sad) thought.
