Student Stabs Another, Self at Dr. Phillips High
Orlando, FL
An emergency medical crew and investigators were called to Dr. Phillips High School over a student-involved stabbing early Monday.
Investigators said Antonio Acevedo and a female student, both 17, were arguing before Acevedo cut the young woman with a pocket knife. He then cut himself, according to Orlando Police Department officers.
"Apparently, he cuts her and then cuts himself," said OPD Sgt. Vince Ogburn. "Both were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. So, a cut is a cut. They are juveniles so we have to take them to the hospital to get them evaluated."
Ogburn said the students, who are boyfriend and girlfriend, are expected to make a full recovery. The couple had been dating for three years.
The incident occurred in the school parking lot.

A former U.S. Navy seaman was sentenced today to five years in prison for possessing child pornography, announced Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Justice Departments Criminal Division.
