Officials and community members in Montgomery County, Maryland, are searching for answers after police say a man stabbed four people Saturday morning in a “completely random” attack before he was fatally shot by an officer.
Police said the series of stabbings began about 10:30 a.m. Saturday when a woman was stabbed at the Unique Thrift Store in the 12200 block of Veirs Mill Road in Aspen Hill. A short time later, two other women were stabbed in the neck while they were at a yard sale in the 4100 block of Colie Drive — less than a half-mile away from the thrift store.
The three women were hospitalized for their injuries, with one listed in critical condition. A fourth male victim had what police described as “superficial” wounds. All four are expected to survive, according to authorities.
Shortly after 10:45 a.m., officers located the suspect appearing to be heading to a nearby wooded area in the 4300 block of Havard Street. Police were attempting to surround that wooded area when the suspect came to the sidewalk and “confronted a police cruiser,” according to Montgomery County Police Assistant Chief Darren Francke.
“Another officer arrived on scene, saw the suspect, saw that he was armed with a 12-inch butcher knife, gave commands to the subject. Unfortunately, an officer-involved shooting occurred,” Francke said during a press conference Saturday afternoon.
He will stab no one else, good job officers.
First – glad the four victims are expected to survive their injuries….
Most importantly – the thug is dead!
Libertards in Montgomery County will probably arrest the Hero police officer for not calling in a social worker to see why this killer was emotionally upset…
