PA MURRYSVILLE – Nine years have passed since a terrible incident in Westmoreland County.
At least 20 individuals were stabbed at Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville on this day in 2014.
Just before school started, it happened in a crowded hallway.
Even though at least five students were seriously hurt, everyone lived. The stabbing was reported that morning at 7:13 a.m.
Students at the time told KDKA that a stabbing victim-activated a fire alarm, which authorities think saved lives.

“So, yes, the fire alarm being pulled probably assisted with evacuating the school, and that was a good thing that was done,” Chief Thomas Seefeld made a statement.
Alex Hribal, a sophomore at the time and 16 years old, was the assailant. After entering a guilty plea in 2017, he is completing a 60-year term.
Hribal would eventually challenge his conviction, claiming that his attorney was inefficient, but no judge has yet to take that case.
