Franklin Regional Suspect Now Facing 21 Counts Of Attempted Homicide

MURRYSVILLE (KDKA) – Investigators have released more details into why a Franklin Regional High School student allegedly went on a stabbing spree earlier this month. According to court documents, Vice Principal Samuel King, overheard 16-year-old Alex Hribal say, “No, I am not dropping them [the knives], my work is not done. I have more people to kill,” after he was detained by a school security guard.

This new information has led police to upgrade Hribal’s charges. He is now facing 21 counts of attempted criminal homicide, in addition to charges of aggravated assault and bringing a weapon on school property. He is charged as a adult. Investigators say they also found a signed note in his locker from April 6, 2014, that indicates that he planned to kill his fellow students. It read: “I can’t wait to see the priceless and helpless looks on the faces of the students of one of the ‘best schools in Pennsylvania’ realize their precious lives are going to be taken by the only one among them that is a plebeian.” This information falls in line with what investigators had already suspected, that Hribal may have targeted specific students. Earlier this month, investigators were looking into the claim students at Franklin Regional High School received threatening phone messages from someone who was believed to be Hribal. (snip) “It really strikes, to me, to the heart of the matter. What was going on in that school? The case is about 16- or 17-days-old now, and I have done a complete turn in my own mind about what caused this,” said Thomassey. “I’m getting to the point where I think there were a lot of things going on in that school that might have been ignored by different people.”

” are going to be taken by the only one among them that is a plebeian.”

Is that another in the long list of protected minorities or sexual choices ?

Hopefully this piece of vile human scum gets several life sentences and never sees the light of day again.

He is too dangerous to ever be released back into society again.

and bringing a weapon on school property

I see they saved the most serious charge for last.

His lawyers are looking for a way to plead insanity. First, there were allegations of bullying, which don’t seem to hold up. Now it’s the note. Look for the punk to be spending an easy life in a mental illness facility at taxpayer expense.

But Hribal’s lawyer, Pat Thomassey, feels adding the 21 new counts of attempted homicide when some of the injuries were not very severe is a little like piling on.

Thomassey says he’s very sympathetic to the victims, but he doesn’t think every injury rises to a charge of attempted murder.

Oh, I see. He stabs some people severely, with obvious intent to kill. Yet we're to believe he stabbed others intending only to hurt them? No {expletive} likely. Besides, intent means nothing, actions are what's on trial. He stabbed them, that is assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder, it doesn't matter if he is inept at it.

Oh yeah, thank {Diety} that law was in place to protect the kids. ... er ... well, all but 21 of them I guess.

Good thing none of the teachers/staff were armed or the perp might have gotten hurt. ;-/
