William Michael Stankewicz is a former teacher who attacked educators and children at North Hopewell-Winterstown Elementary School in Red Lion, Pennsylvania in 2001. Stankewicz attacked 11 kindergarteners, two teachers and the principal with a machete. He said he attacked the victims because he was angry about his divorce and allegations he had molested his stepdaughters.[1][2][3] [4][5]

Principal Norina Bentzel stopped the attack by jumping on Stankewicz and pinning him down, despite having been severely injured by hits from the machete.[4]

On February 2, 2001, Stankewicz drove from his home in Johnson City, Tennessee to York County. Along the way he tried to buy a gun, but failed the mandatory background check.[4]
