Girl, 16, Stabbed Bloomington High School Student 6 Times: Police

BLOOMINGTON, MN — A Bloomington Jefferson High School student has been charged in Hennepin County with second-degree assault for stabbing another student multiple times Tuesday.

Anika Daisy Quittschreiber, 16, was charged after an altercation with another student escalated. Police say Quittschreiber stabbed the other girl six times.

According to the juvenile court petition, the school resource officer at the high school responded to a fight that broke out between Quittschreiber and the other girl in the school’s main entrance. The police officer could see the girl was stabbed in the stomach and blood was flowing on to the floor.

Quittschreiber was escorted from the scene and police found that she had the knife used to stab the other girl, who was taken to the hospital to treat wounds to her torso, upper chest, thigh and forearm, the petition continues.

According to investigators, video surveillance shows Quittschreiber walking through the main entrance of the school with her right hand concealed in her sweatshirt pocket. She encountered the other girl and they appeared to exchange words. Police say the girl punched Quittschreiber, who then pulled her right hand out of her sweatshirt pocket holding a knife and began making upward stabbing motions with the knife.

School staff broke up the fight.

Because of the severity of the charges, prosecutors have filed a motion for adult certification for Quittschreiber, according to a news release. The certification determination will be made by a judge after a process that includes the collection of relevant records, psychological evaluation, and a study by a probation officer.
