Seabrook, Iowa – Chaos and bloodshed erupted at Seabrook High School’s gymnasium last night following a devastating incident involving a student, identified as Carrie White, 16, a sophomore. Preliminary investigations suggest a targeted and escalating act of violence that has left the school and the surrounding community reeling.

The event unfolded during the annual Seabrook High prom, which was in full swing when reports began flooding in of unusual disturbances. Witnesses initially described panicked screams and disoriented attendees. However, the situation quickly deteriorated into a scene of unimaginable horror as Carrie White, previously known for her withdrawn and isolated behavior, reportedly unleashed a series of retaliatory attacks. Initial reports indicate the attacks were focused on individuals perceived to be cruel or judgmental towards her.

“It was… it was like something out of a nightmare,” said Mr. Harris, a chaperone at the prom, visibly shaken. “One minute, kids were dancing, and the next, there was… this. Just… this.” He struggled to articulate the events, adding, “She just… she just started. It was so sudden.”

Details remain sketchy, but authorities confirm that a significant amount of blood was discovered throughout the gymnasium, primarily concentrated around the dance floor and stage. The cause of the injuries is currently under investigation, though preliminary examinations suggest the use of a combination of objects – including a bucket of pigs’ blood, a razor blade, and a telephone – were employed in the attacks.

Adding to the unsettling nature of the event, Carrie White displayed an apparent lack of remorse or understanding of the consequences of her actions. According to a statement released by Mrs. White, Carrie’s mother, “She’s always been… sensitive. And people have been so unkind. It’s… it’s a terrible thing, but she felt she had no choice.”

Local law enforcement has established a perimeter around the school, and a full investigation is underway, led by Sheriff Brody and the Iowa State Patrol. Counselors are on site to provide support to students and staff. The prom has been indefinitely suspended, and the school building remains closed. Authorities are urging the public to avoid the area. The events of last night are likely to have profound and lasting effects on the community of Seabrook.
