Student Stabbed While Leaving Class at Texas High School

Authorities say a student was stabbed five times inside a biology classroom at his high school in Southeast Texas, and that a 15-year-old student has been charged.

Galveston County sheriff's officials say the victim was hospitalized in stable condition Friday with injuries to his abdomen and arms that aren't considered life-threatening.

Investigators believe the victim bumped into the suspect as the two were leaving a classroom Thursday afternoon at Clear Brook High School in Friendswood, about 20 miles southeast of Houston. The boys' names haven't been released.

Capt. Peter Sifuentes says the suspect is in juvenile custody on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Sifuentes said the suspect had a folding pocketknife and stayed in the classroom until officers arrived.
