two friends involved in high school stabbing incident

Some disturbing news out of Honolulu last week about a high school stabbing involving two teens... At Kalani High School, a 16-year-old suffered multiple stab wounds when another student attacked him in a classroom: Kalani Students Involved In Stabbing Identified.
The attack happened just before 9 a.m. in a math class of 30 students, Kalani High School Principal Jerald Teramae said.

Paramedics treated Wang and took him to Queen's Medical Center in serious, but stable condition, officials said.

Police arrested a 17-year-old Zoe Espinola for the attack. There was no prior history of conflict between the two students, police said.

Their schoolmates were shocked at the violent outburst . "I see them around campus hanging around having fun," said Jessica Chan.
The crazy thing is, the two were apparently friends. Espinola may now be facing possible attempted murder charges in Family Court: Kalani Stabbing Suspect Could Be Tried As Adult. The good news is, it looks like the victim is going to be okay: Kalani student faring well after stabbing.
