Temple student charged with attempted murder after stabbing graduate 13 times

A Temple University student, Michael Morrell, has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing a recent graduate 13 times early Sunday morning in an off-campus apartment. The victim, a 22-year-old man, was found in critical condition and is currently hospitalized. The attack occurred around 2:30 a.m. on North 15th Street, where both the suspect and victim reside in the same building and are members of a Greek organization that is not recognized by the university due to prior infractions. Temple University officials are conducting a separate investigation alongside the police, stating that anyone involved will face disciplinary action. The motive for the stabbing remains unclear, and the school has emphasized that violence is never the answer in such situations. This incident follows closely on the heels of another violent occurrence involving a Temple student just days prior.
