MARATHON (AP) – An 11-year-old boy has been turned over to the Department of Juvenile Justice after authorities charged him with stabbing two 9-year-olds with a hypodermic needle and threatening a third one.

The suspect, who was not named by Monroe County Sheriff’s officials because he is a minor, was standing in a cafeteria line in school last Thursday.

Monroe County Sheriff’s deputies said the suspect stabbed two kids in the buttocks with a hypodermic needle. He then chased a third boy, who ran away and hid. The two victims told a teacher.
