AHSA, 8 May 2003 — A high school student stabbed his principal three times in the shoulder. The source of the problem was that 35 students were late for school. According to Okaz newspaper, the school principal advised them against tardiness and allowed them to go to their classes. One student, however, began to swear at the principal who then told him to go home and return with his father. He returned with his father, who apologized for his son’s behavior. The son was unwilling to admit his mistake and returned to the school a short time later and stabbed the principal.
