A student at Foss High School in Tacoma, Washington, stabbed four classmates and a security guard on April 30, 2026, after an altercation reportedly sparked by a stolen vape pen. The attack — which left four victims in critical but stable condition — raises questions about school security funding gaps, the limits of hardening measures against blade weapons, and why stabbing violence receives far less policy attention than shootings despite recurring incidents.
