Around The World Part III
At local Northeast Middle School, a 14-year-old was stabbed multiple times by another student and later died from his injuries. Our condolences go out to the family for this sad, tragic loss. People need to be held accountable when they are measures in place that are not being followed by school officials. This school had resource officers, medal detectors, and the students were required to carry clear backpacks. The school administrators failed, other students failed and as a result of their careless actions, this promising young man is no longer with us.
