A student has been charged with four counts of first-degree assault with a deadly weapon <\/strong>following a stabbing at Foss High School<\/a> on Thursday in Tacoma, Washington, where four students and a security guard were injured.<\/p>\n

The suspect was identified as Waleed Emad Essakhi, according to authorities, and was arrested shortly after the incident.<\/p>\n

Essakhi was charged in Pierce County Superior Court on Friday, where it was determined he would be tried as an adult<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, the student allegedly stole a vape pen from a fellow student the previous day at a skatepark, according to court documents. Four of the student\u2019s friends later approached him in retaliation.<\/p>\n

One of the victims claimed Essakhi was “egging them on” to fight him as he slapped his own face.<\/p>\n

Court documents state surveillance footage shows the suspect allegedly pulling an object from his pocket before the four students began to fight him. None of the victims were armed.<\/p>\n

Staff members and a security guard<\/a> got involved to break up the fight.<\/p>\n

The students had stab wounds and cut lips<\/a>, while the security guard was cut on his arm. One victim was stabbed in the side and required emergency surgery to remove a portion of a lung, while another student underwent surgery for a cut on his arm.<\/p>\n

Authorities initially said multiple victims suffered critical and non-critical injuries.<\/p>\n

The suspect’s mother said her son recently transferred to Foss High School after being bullied and getting into fights at his previous school.<\/p>\n

Tacoma Public Schools said the campus was placed on lockdown at 1:38 p.m., with students later released at 2:45 p.m.<\/p>\n

The school was used as a reunification site for families, and classes and activities were canceled the following day. Counselors were made available to support students and staff.<\/p>\n

A not guilty plea was entered on Essakhi\u2019s behalf during his arraignment, with bail set at $75,000.<\/p>\n

“While these are just allegations at this time, the allegations are concerning,” deputy prosecuting attorney Lena Berberich-Eerebout said during the hearing. “The state has severe concerns for community safety due to his volatile behavior, and release high bail is appropriate.”<\/p>\n

An omnibus hearing is set for June 1, while a jury trial is scheduled for June 17.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
