A horrific stabbing spree has just occurred at a Pennsylvania high school, but that hasn't stopped one teen from posting a selife on Instagram from the hospital where he was being treated for knife wounds.
According to an article in NBC, Nate Scimio was hailed a hero by classmates for sounding the fire alarm at Franklin Regional Senior High School in Murrysville, and urging students to flee the building while an unnamed male student went on a stabbing rampage that injured nineteen students and a security guard.
Described simply as "really shy," the perpetrator is a 16-year-old sophomore, who was taken into custody after being tackled by the vice principal. Details in this story are still emerging.
