One Waukesha Girl Not Competent to Stand Trial in Stabbing of Friend

Several doctors have concluded that at least one of the two 12-year-old girls accused of stabbing a friend 19 times, is not mentally competent.

The young suspects were arrested several weeks ago, after their would friend was found crawling out of a wooded area in Waukesha.

According to the criminal complaint, the two 12-year-olds planned to kill their classmate, in order to please a fictional online horror character.

She survived the attack, and is now recovering at home.
