Fallston High Student Pricks 19 Classmates With Lancet

A Fallston High School student faces discipline and possible criminal charges after the student pricked other students with a blood lancet, a Harford County schools spokeswoman said.

School administrators have been in contact with parents and guardians of the students involved and have encouraged them to contact their doctor or an urgent care center, spokeswoman Jillian Lader said in an email. Law enforcement agencies are also involved.

"As soon as administrators were made aware of the situation, they took immediate action," Lader said in an email. "At this time, we are aware of approximately 19 students who were pricked with the blood lancet. However, we are reaching out to all parents/guardians at Fallston High School to ensure they are aware of the situation and so that they may advise us if there are any other students who have not been brought to our attention."
