The father of a 12-year-old who was stabbed repeatedly by another 12-year-old student last week told CBS News Colorado that the accused has been charged with seven counts, including attempted murder and bias motivated crime. The Denver District Attorneys Office confirmed the charges. The middle schooler was stabbed last Thursday afternoon while in a classroom at Marie L. Greenwood Academy.
The student victim’s first and last name will not be revealed by CBS News Colorado as it is a highly distressing incident. The charges have been confirmed by the Denver District Attorney’s Office and are as follows:

Among others, the charges include attempted murder, first-degree assault, serious bodily injury, bias-motivated crime causing bodily injury, and interference with school.
The victim sustained three stab wounds, specifically in the skull, neck, and back shoulder region.
The father of the victim has reported that the student who stabbed his son had been using racial slurs against him on social media before this incident. He had previously raised this issue with the school.
