Former middle school principal accused of stabbing 2 to death in rampage LEALMAN, Fla. - A former middle school principal who lost his job after being charged with buying drugs in his office was arrested Friday in a stabbing rampage that left two dead and nine injured, MyFoxTampaBay reports. 45-year-old Anthony Giancola, the former principal of Van Buren Middle School in Tampa, allegedly entered a group home for the hearing impaired in Lealman and began stabbing people apparently at random. Officials said Justin Lee Vand, 27, died at the scene, and Mary Anne Allis, 59, died at a nearby hospital. Two other residents, Danielle Whitney Gilbert, 25, and Janice Denise Rhoden, 44, were injured. Authorities allege Giancola then headed to the Kenvins Motel nearby, attacking husband and wife owners Kanu and Indiranden Patel with a hammer. Both were hospitalized. At around 11:30 a.m. Giancola pulled up in front of a house in Pinellas Park and asked residents where he could find women, Pinellas County Sheriff's spokeswoman Cecelia Barreda tells the Associated Press. The residents told him to go away, and Giancola drove away angry. He soon returned and crashed his car into their porch, injuring three women and one man, police said. The women were taken to a nearby hospital, but the man refused treatment. Giancola then hit 13-year-old Kole Price while he was riding his bike. Kole, who sustained a minor leg injury, tells MyFoxTampa Giancola suddenly ran into him out of nowhere. "I think that guy was a nut job and he's like messed up or something," he said. The suspect's mother reportedly called police after her son called her and said, "she would be proud because he had killed 10 drug dealers," according to authorities. However, investigators say they have no indication any of the victims had criminal histories, and that this appears to be a random crime. Giancola was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder He was first arrested in 2007. Authorities said he bought $20 of crack cocaine from an undercover police officer during the school day in his office at Van Buren Middle School in Tampa. Giancola eventually pleaded guilty to purchasing crack cocaine, possessing crack cocaine and possessing marijuana. Court records show he was sentenced to a year in jail and three years of probation.
