After U.S. recorded cases and cases of mass shootings in schools, 22 people were injured in a mass stabbing at the Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville, 20 miles east of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 

Some victims were in critical condition and four victims were taken to hospitals by medical helicopters.  

The incident started at around 7:13 a.m. (11:13 GMT) on Wednesday when a 16-year-old student went on a stabbing rampage in the school hallways using two “straight knives” of about 8 to 10 inches before he was tackled by assistant principal Sam King.

The attacker stabbed victims in the torso and slashing their arms and faces.

A student, Nate Scimio  pulled the fire alarm to warn others.

Tom Seefeld, chief of police in Murrysville, Pennsylvania said that the unidentified sophomore attacker is now in police custody.

Westmoreland County District Attorney, John Peck told a news conference that the suspect would likely be charged as an adult, possibly with aggravated assault and attempted murder, and then his name would then be released.

Police and the FBI were searching the suspect’s home, situated at the end of a quiet cul de sac.

Waterworld: Cities Of The Future

For years, scientists have warned about the danger of rising sea levels — and thanks to Pittsburgh artist Nickolay Lamm, we can now see what the impact might look like in real life. Armed with stock photos of popular U.S. sites and projection maps from Climate Central, Lamm painstakingly re-created each scene as it would appear after a 25-foot rise in sea level. The good news is, it will take hundreds of years to get there (levels are only projected to rise 2 to 6 feet by the year 2100) but Lamm says he’s hoping to draw attention to the threat of climate change now, before the worst effects take hold.

Boston Harbor offers a dramatic example of how low-lying areas could be especially vulnerable to rising seas. And East Coast cities may be facing the effects sooner than other regions — a study published in 2012 found a “hot spot” of accelerated sea-level rise along a stretch of the Atlantic Coast.

But then by morning, weary shovelers were pretty tired of all the snow. You can only see the cars on this Beacon Hill street because their mirrors are showing. (The Atlantic Wire)

And despite the car ban, some people still need to get around. It just means they need to switch to alternative transportation methods like this. (The Atlantic Wire)

On the city’s south side, the scenes captured in these Associated Press photos are even scarier. There used to be cars on this street. You can barely see them now; there are only snow drifts.
