A week later, a 17-year-old student is accused of stabbing a 16-year-student, both males, in the hand with a pocket knife.

One 17-year-old University High School student was charged yesterday with unlawful wounding, brandishing a deadly weapon and possession of deadly weapons on an educational facility.

State Police Trooper Thomas Goodnight said in the one incident, boys held a girl down by her hands, legs and ankles. Some of the incidents were recorded on videotape.

WVU RECRUIT FACING MURDER CHARGES

A West Virginia University football recruit has been charged with murder.

The recruit, Raymond Williams, has been charged with shooting a teammate in Cleveland.

Ohio's "Mister Football" and Benedictine teammate John Huddleston were charged today with murder and aggravated robbery.

Police say the two 18-year-olds were with a third teammate, 16-year-old Lorenzo Hunter, when Lorenzo allegedly tried to rob a neighbor with a fake gun. The neighbor, 20-year-old Rodney Roberts, reportedly pulled a real gun, shot and killed Hunter.

Roberts was charged aggravated murder in Hunter's death.

Police say the decision to charge Williams and Huddleston in the death was made because they were "at the scene and had some involvement in it."
