The teacher suffered serious injuries to her head, hands, and back, believing she might not survive. Security footage captured her clutching her head as she fled, while staff rushed to her aid. The teen, arrested the same day, was acquitted of attempted murder but convicted of wounding with intent and admitted to bringing a weapon to school. The judge stressed the attack was premeditated and potentially fatal, though the motive remains unclear. The teacher’s emotional testimony revealed lasting trauma — anxiety, wariness of young men, and uncertainty about returning to teaching — underscoring the deep psychological scars beyond the physical wounds.
