The student suffered nerve damage and needed nearly six hours of surgery, ABC 57 reported. Police said there was no criminal intent when the student got injured and it was the result of a “reckless action,” ABC 57 reported. The student with the knife said he found it about a week earlier in the school parking lot and kept it in his locker. The principal and the superintendent refused to comment to ABC 57, saying the incident was under investigation. A lawyer for the victim’s family said they are considering legal action against the school district because the knife was on school property.
