Students stop knife attack on teacher

CONYERS, Georgia (AP) --The estranged husband of a high school Spanish teacher burst into her classroom during a final exam and tried to stab her in the chest before students tackled him and pinned him to the floor, authorities said.

"Those kids are my heroes," Debbie Shultz said as she recuperated at home with stitches in her hand and leg where she was cut in the Wednesday attack at Heritage High School.

Theodore Franklin Shultz, 51, of Conyers was being held in the Rockdale County Jail on charges of aggravated assault, aggravated stalking, cruelty to children, disrupting a school and carrying a weapon on school property.

Nimesh Patel, 17, was taking a nap after finishing his final when he heard screaming and saw his teacher trying to fend off her assailant.

"I froze there for a second. Me and a couple of other guys grabbed him and threw him to the ground and basically sat on him until the cops came," said Patel.

Scott Wigington, 17, son of the Rockdale County sheriff, grabbed the hand holding the knife. Several others helped push the man to the ground.

The teacher said she is in the final stages of divorce after seven years and had a restraining order against her husband.

"I'm sorry that they were called upon to do such a huge job so early in their lives, but without them I wouldn't be alive," said Shultz, 46.

The suburban Atlanta school was the site of a May 1999 shooting in which a student opened fire on classmates, wounding six. T.J. Solomon pleaded guilty but mentally ill to charges of aggravated assault and is serving a minimum of 18 years in prison.

Wow, that's amazing!

Something similar happened here, of course it wasn't so exstensive as attempted murder. But at my high school the photography class had a sub (the sub WOULD have been my cousin in law but he doesn't like to sub for fine arts classes...thank god he said no). So some dumbasses, thought it would be funny, to put rubber cement in a latex glove and light it, yes, LIGHT it on fire. So they did and there was the fire in the photography room. So some kids like ran to get the fire extenguisher, except they couldn't get it open so some kid punched through the glass to get to it and yea, other people did other stuff to stop it...there were a lotta things that could burst into flames in there. Scary.

That man is terrible. I am proud of those students for helping her. I'm just surprised none of them were hurt

Awesome students! That's cool they stopped that psycho. You know that there are some who believe "violence isn't the answer", so in some people's eyes, the students shouldn't have done anything.

It has already been mentioned that it is ok to respond to older threads. There is no harm in doing so. The moderator Janice has said it's ok, and there is no rule against it. It's not like anyone is bumping several at a time. Responding to one or two is just fine, others have also metioned that. If it bothers you so much, don't read them then.

It's about 30 miles east of Atlanta, which is basically on the outskirts of the city as big as it is.
