At least three dead in ‘Knockout’ fad
A Pittsburgh-area teacher survived a surprise punch and said he doesn’t remember the incident. The 15-year-old who knocked him unconscious is charged with simple assault. He has not been identified because he is a juvenile.

Two Syracuse teens that punched and killed a man were sentenced to 18 months confinement in a “family court ” case.

Laughing teens interviewed by CBS, whose faces are blurred because they are minors, said ‘Knockout’ is not about “anger,” it’s about fun.
