One in custody after US school stabbings

Several people were stabbed today at a high school near Pittsburgh, and a suspect was taken into custody, an emergency official said.
Dan Stevens, the county's emergency management spokesman, said five or six people were reported stabbed at about 7:20 a.M. (local time) at Franklin Regional High School, about 25 kilometres east of Pittsburgh.
It was not immediately clear if the suspect and the victims are students, adults or a mix of both. It does not appear that any of the victims suffered life-threatening injuries, Stevens said, though several helicopters were seen flying people from the scene to area hospitals.

School officials and Murrysville police did not immediately return calls seeking further details, but the school issued a bulletin on its website saying: "A critical incident has occurred at the high school. All elementary schools are cancelled, the middle school and high school students are secure."
The high school was on lockdown, and students were being kept there as a precaution as school and law enforcement officials double-checked the premises.
