Longmont student pleads guilty to attempted murder:
14-year-old Jackson Crutcher of Silver Creek High school in Colorado has pleaded guilty to the charge of attempted murder. Crutcher was the kid who stabbed a female classmate in the back with a pair of scissors for no discernible reason.

For his heinous act he was sentenced to a whopping five years probation. That's just lovely. That will give him plenty of more opportunities to stab somebody else. As usual the criminally violent get a pass...

Crutcher also must stay on a strict treatment regimen of medicine and therapy, wear a monitoring device around his ankle and keep away from the victim -- a freshman girl whom he said he didn't know. The plea deal was partly based on a determination that Crutcher had a previously undiagnosed mental illness, Collins said.

Because as we all know ankle monitors are foolproof. If he's nuts he should be committed.

Boy charged with second-degree attempted murder in attack on classmate:
14-year-old Jackson Crutcher has been charged with second degree attempted murder for stabbing another student at Silver Creek High School with a pair of scissors.

Crutcher was charged as a juvenile but has been released on bond...

Under his bond conditions, he must attend treatment sessions at the hospital from 8 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. seven days a week, wear an ankle bracelet monitor and remain under his parents’ supervision 24 hours a day.

The doctors have determined he is no longer a danger to himself or the community, according to prosecutors.

Still no motive in the attack.

Boy, 14, held in stabbing:
The suspect's name in Thursday's stabbing at Silver Creek High School in Colorado is Jackson Crutcher.

Boulder County Judge T.J. Cole ordered him held for a psychiatric evaluation.

Police arrested Crutcher on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder, attempted first-degree assault and second-degree assault, according to police reports. Prosecutors will determine what charges they will file against Crutcher.

According to the article Crutcher had several friends and was well liked.

A motive for the stabbing is still unclear at this time.

No word yet if he will be charged as an adult or not.

The victim is recovering well.

Girl Stabbed 7 Times In High School Hallway:
A 14-year-old female student from Silver Creek High School in Colorado was stabbed multiple times by a 14-year-old male student of the school.

The victim was at her locker when the suspect with scissors in hand started stabbing her. He then chased her down the hall repeatedly stabbing her.

"At the end of the hallway, the victim fell to the floor and the suspect threw the scissors into the wall near where the victim collapsed," Longmont police said in a news release.

The suspect was then subdued by students and faculty.

No motive was given for the attack as the victim didn't even know her assailant.

According to a report on TimesCall.com, a rescuer asked the girl if she knew why the other teen attacked her and she was overheard saying, "I have no idea. I've never seen him before."

Students described the boy as "quiet" and "formal" and said not many students knew him.

Luckily the victim did not have life threatening injuries and was released from the hospital.
