GUILTY TX - Joshua Broussard, 17, dead, 4 injured in Spring HS stabbing, 4 Sept 2013

[claudicici]

It's so sad following the kids Facebook's today.The ones that feel affected by what happened seemed to be bullied by the ones that say "as long as you didn't get hurt you need to shut up" in horrible language. I've seen this many times throughout the day.The kids need to learn to have a conscience.It is so sad that they can't even realize that yes,it matters when someone lost their life and everyone is affected.

"It's an unbelievable thought. You would never think your kid would get stabbed at school," Josh's dad says. Broussard was so dazed at the news of his son's death he was literally trying to figure out how to undo it. "And make him miss school today and everything would be good but ain't no way to turn back time," explains Broussard.

People need to learn how to parent their children. These kids are running wild and imo need to counseled and heavily punished. I wouldn't send my kids to public schools. Imo

A lot of parents have to work more than one job....
other parents are not much of parents at all,they have drug addictions,involved in criminal activity etc...
....and then the kids come to a huge school where noone knows what they are going through and they want to act as tough as possible

I think since we don't have problems with gangs, etc., outside of school - is a big reason as to why we don't have problems inside the school. Education is valued by most here- but I do understand it is not in other areas.

i've read twitter posts of friends of the deceased and they are not those of scared boys. They threaten death and are very violent

The article shows his picture. It also says classes have been cancelled for today and tomorrow.

Teen charged in fatal stabbing at Spring High School

UPDATE:

Late Wednesday, authorities charged Luis Alonzo Alfaro with murder. The 17-year-old is accused of pulling a knife during the fight and stabbing Broussard to death. He is old enough to be considered an adult under Texas law.

Alfaro was booked into the Harris County Jail with bail set at $50,000. A preliminary court hearing is scheduled for Friday. Online court records list no attorney for him.


The suspect appeared in probable-cause court early Thursday morning. He is being held in the Harris County Jail on $150,000 bond, according to county records.

ORIGINAL STORY:

The 3,000 students at Spring High School on Wednesday morning should have been scattering to their classes minutes before first period began at 7:15.

Instead, a fatal knife attack in a hallway outside the cafeteria meant thousands of students, faculty and staff members started their school day on lockdown in classrooms and offices.

Word of the horrific second-week-of-school incident washed over the north Harris County community as students contacted loved ones. By 10 a.m., emergency voice and text messages from Spring Independent School District officials hit parents' cellphones explaining that a bloody fight had turned deadly

Can you share what you are seeing? Or what twitters?

The Sheriff said the incident

"may have been gang related," but did not elaborate on that point.

A spokesman for the Bazile family said the incident was part of an ongoing disagreement between young men in rival groups. (Deavean Bazile, 16, who suffered injuries to his abdomen, was airlifted to Memorial Hermann Hospital)

"This was not gang violence, but simply a misunderstanding between two people," said Pastor E.A. Deckard of Green House International Church. "We pray for the family of the man who did not make it through this tragedy. We as a community need to come together to show kids the value of real life."

Umm perhaps addressing the gang violence and not dismissing it would benefit his congregation, maybe.

Shoot, that's right. Probably not if they are from minors.

Yep! I saw him say that yesterday! Between him and the Superintendent, they both wanted the "gang" talk to disappear. However, when I saw the parents on camera, it is a real concern!

:maddening:

I'm glad they closed the school until Monday. I hope they are taking the threat of a shooting will be next, very seriously!

:lol: Ain't that the truth!

Let's just say that the Pastor and the Superintendent, and the police need to open their eyes, remove the blinders, and realize that there is a gang problem going on!

I seriously cannot read some of that stuff

They do take 17 years to regular jail in Texas and they do seem to cover up things. A school bus is said to have hit a student on the first day of shool, causing serious injuries. Not one word can be found on any news sites around here about it, but some kids saw what happened. The kids know what's going on.

 

[claudicici]

The kids are also saying that there was in fact a grown man involved in the incident.Why is nothing being reported about the other two people that were arrested anymore?They are saying that these other two are students and are now considered witnesses not suspects but the kids are saying one of them is definitely not a student.

" SHS is keeping everything under wraps, like they have every year I have gone there. There have been shootings at football games, rapes in the halls on camera where no one is charged, stabbings, gang violence and drug violence."
