Description
The 14-year-old who stabbed two students Thursday at Countryside High School had a manifesto that indicated he had an intent to kill, police said.
The teen, a 9th grader who Clearwater Police Chief Eric Gandy previously said had no disciplinary history, was a lone suspect who conducted "an intentional and targeted act" where anyone was at risk. He is facing two counts of attempted first-degree murder.
Speaking during a news conference Friday, the chief detailed that a 14-year-old 9th-grade boy was stabbed in the neck by the teen and has since been treated and released from the hospital. The second student, a 16-year-old 11th-grade boy, was stabbed in the chest and abdomen. He underwent surgery and is progressing toward recovery, Gandy said.
