B: Nope, what's up?
A: Well, there was this 17-year-old girl in Japan who got arrested for stabbing three classmates with a knife!
B: Wow, that sounds serious! Where did it happen?
A: It happened at a correspondence high school in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture. They caught her right away on Wednesday morning.
B: That's good they caught her quickly, but I hope the victims are okay.
A: Luckily, none of them had life-threatening wounds! It happened during a break when about 20 students were in the classroom.
B: Phew, that must have been scary for everyone involved! What happened exactly?
A: From what I heard, she just attacked her schoolmates without warning! Witnesses said she did it one after another.
B: That's terrible... Did she try to chase them after attacking?
A: No, apparently she didn't chase them. A teacher at the school took away the knife from her afterwards.
