DEVELOPING: Twenty students were wounded — four seriously — during a stabbing spree at a high school near Pittsburgh and one person is in custody early Wednesday, emergency officials say.

Dan Stevens, a spokeswoman for Westmoreland County emergency management, told FoxNews.com that the male suspect is in custody following the incident at Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville, roughly 15 miles east of Pittsburgh.

It's unclear if the suspect and the victims are students, adults, or a mix of both. Four of the victims were taken to area hospitals via helicopter. Those injured were between 14 and 17 years old, Stevens said, adding that not all of them were stabbed or slashed with a knife.

A press conference on the incident has been scheduled for 10:30 a.m., Stevens said.

The battle over laws limiting gun ownership and use is far from over, but Rev. Al Sharpton is already looking ahead toward the next “weapon” he feels should be regulated.

During his radio program last Friday, the MSNBC talk show host responded to a caller who asked: “What happens when the criminal goes to knives, Al?” Sharpton's answer: “Then you deal with knives.”

Before making that pronouncement, the staunch gun control advocate stated:

In any civilized society, you do not see massacres continue to happen, from Tucson to Aurora to Columbine to Virginia Tech to where we are now in Newtown to Chicago, and you keep the same laws when clearly they’re not working.

The caller then pressed the host using the common argument that when guns become too difficult to obtain for even the most determined criminals, they will find other devices of violence, such as knives.

Sharpton replied: “Then you deal with knives.”

The same thing as if you have a head cold and the same thing you do if you have a head cold and the cold is gone and you have a headache. Then you take headache medicine.

“The job of society is to deal with whatever problem confronts it,” he added.

Oh brother....



Better start going after celebrity chefs I suppose....and all of us gramma's who have awesome knife cutting skills in the culinary arts. Come and get me Holder!

Just puts us one step behind the Brits.

The UK outlawed the switchblade and gravity knife in 1959.

In 1988 possession of a pocket knife with a blade larger than 3 inches in public became illegal.

In 1996, it became illegal to sell a razor blade to anyone under the age of 16.

In 2007, you needed a license to be able to sell “non-domestic knives.”

Despite all that knifepoint robberies rose by 10 percent this year and there are some 60,000 stabbings each year. So the push is on to outlaw long kitchen knives. Once that’s done, surely utopia will be at hand.

The Brits don't mess around. For example, they have wisely disarmed this group of incipient thugs.

LONDON, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- British Scouts will no longer be permitted to carry knives, even on camping trips, due to an increase in fatal stabbings, Scout officials said Sunday.
