Metro brief: Student shot after high school sports game

Students at three Montgomery County high schools are struggling to piece their lives back together after last week's football game that left a 15-year-old girl dead.

"It's terrible," said Evan Levine, 18, a senior at James Hubert Blake High School, where Kanisha Neal was stabbed Friday night. "It shouldn't happen around here. It shouldn't happen anywhere."

According to The Washington Post, students at Blake, Rockville and Sherwood high schools in Maryland arrived at school Monday to find patrol cars, police officers and grief counselors on hand to assist in the situation.

A Rockville judge decided yesterday that the suspect in the stabbing, a junior at Sherwood High School, will remain detained until Oct. 12, the date of her next hearing. Her name has not been released because she is a juvenile.
