A defense attorney raised doubt Tuesday about the competency of a 16-year-old student to face sex assault and attempted murder charges in an after-school attack that left a Las Vegas high school teacher unconscious in her classroom last week
A person walks outside Eldorado High School in Las Vegas Friday, April 8, 2022. A student who attacked a teacher in a classroom at the school is facing counts of attempted murder and sexual assault, according to Las Vegas Metro Police.
The Associated Press is not naming the teen, pending a competency determination. He is being held as an adult on $500,000 bail at the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas. The teacher “asked ... repeatedly why he was ‘doing this’ to her,” before she lost consciousness, police said. She “recalled telling her he had something like ‘multiple personalities,' and ... he ‘didn’t like teachers' and was ‘getting revenge.'"
His mother described her son as a good student who was"not diagnosed with any medical or mental disabilities.” She told police that in recent months he seemed “depressed and disconnected” but would not talk about what was wrong.
