It would seem no one saw it coming -- not his parents, not students at his school.

Described by his lawyer as "a typical young kid" who has "never been in trouble," 16-year-old Alex Hribal shocked the people in his life and the nation Wednesday when he allegedly went on a rampage at his high school in Murrysville, Pennsylvania, stabbing or slashing 20 students and a security officer.

No one knows yet what might have motivated the attack.

But pieces of Hribal's story are starting to come together, so far painting a portrait of a teenage boy no one ever expected to show such violence.

"He's a typical young kid. He's a B+ student. The family is like Ozzie and Harriet. They have dinner together every night," said his attorney, Patrick Thomassey.

Maybe not. He may have had an over-protective mother (like Adam Lanza’s mother) who prevented him from getting any treatment.

Believe me, I knew somebody like this.

demon possesion!

I think far too often, in our sophisticated society, we overlook this distinct possibility in cases of horrendous crimes such as this.

No one can say "the devil made me do it" as possession by demonic forces can only occur, if a person gives permission...for those things to take control. None-the-less spirits of evil simply want to destroy people, and will push willing-victims into mental illness, and will use such victims to harm and even murder others.

Here's a good summary of what is translated "demon possession" in the bible. I know nothing about this guy's other teachings, but this post is sound.

My old man would have made me stitch myself back up and walk back to class... He was WWII Airborne and didn’t have a lot of patience! Hahah!

Stitches?

That look is troubling. I think the truth simply hasn’t come out.
