Florida 8-Year-Old Nearly Killed by Pencil

Teacher Mandi Kapopoulos noticed a trail of juice in the hallway Nov. 1 at Equestrian Trails Elementary in Florida and followed it. 

That's when she saw third-grader Kolston Moradi and realized it wasn't juice. “There were pools of blood at his feet and his whole shirt was covered in blood," Kapopoulos tells the South Florida Sun Sentinel

Moments earlier, Kolston had been stabbed in the arm by his own freshly sharpened pencil, which was poking out of his backpack.

Kolston tells WPTV he "didn't really feel anything." “He wasn’t screaming or crying or saying anything,” Kapopoulos tells the Sun Sentinel.
