Charges Against Luther HS Stabbing Suspect Presented To D.A.

Since a 14-year-old girl was stabbed at Luther High School last Thursday, Luther Police say they have enough evidence to present the case to prosecutors.

Chief David Randall says the suggested charges include assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

Officials say the DA could file more charges later Wednesday.

Police are waiting to release the name of the suspect when all of the charges are officially filed. And a judge will decide if the 14-year-old suspect will be charged as an adult.

Chief Randall says they've been at Luther High School every day since the incident and their presence will only continue.
