Two middle-school students in southeastern Wisconsin are in trouble with the law after stabbing a fellow classmate multiple times and leaving her for dead.

FOX News Radio’s Jennifer Keiper has the details:

A couple of 12 year-old Waukesha, Wisconsin girls invite a friend over for a sleepover. All three head to a wooded area, when one of the girls holds the classmate down, while another pulls out a knife. Authorities say the victim was stabbed 19 times.

Police: “In the arms, legs and torso. Many of the stab wounds struck major organs, but incredibly and thankfully, the victim survived this brutal assault.”

Left for dead, the middle school student crawled to a nearby road where a bicyclist helped her. The two 12 year-olds are charged as adults with first-degree attempted homicide. Investigators say the girls were apparently motivated by a fictional character on a horror website.
