From the Houston Chronicle:
Sheriff-Coroner Vern Warnke said during a news conference on Wednesday afternoon that the weapon used in the stabbings was a hunting knife between 8 and 10 inches long.
Campus Police Chief Albert Vasquez says the attack started inside a classroom and that more victims were wounded as the armed suspect fled.
Vasquez says two campus police officers saw the suspect outside and shot him as he turned toward them.
Vasquez says the student was a California resident living in an on-campus dorm. He has been tentatively identified but his name is not being released because authorities have not been able to reach his family.
Search for stabber name still WITHHELD !

This isn’t the wild west, after all. Steak knives kill.
If they ain’t from the Syrian Christians, then all of them are suspect to me. And since Obama is not allowing the Christians in the country, I would not trust any of them.
Excessive force. Bonky will be so upset.
And what about butter knives. They’re liable to put someone’s eye out.
“Five students were injured in a stabbing rampage on the Merced campus of the University of California”
“Three of the victims were flown by helicopter to a local hospital, and the other three received medical treatment on campus. “
3+3=5. Must be that new common core math.
They probably flew the perp also.
Close that knife show loophole now!!!

As a concerned brother of one of the victims, I demand answers. @ucmerced
I have to admit I’ve been wondering if this might have been inspired by the knife Intifada going on in the West Bank.
I am wondering the same thing. It could start here, there are lots foreigners here who hate our way of life. Pretty hard to protect against random knife attacks in public places.
Multiple reports that the FBI is taking part in the investigation. Increases the chance of a jihadi angle.
I saw another account that said the knifer was smiling throughout the attack.
Also, saw some discussion of a guy named Price, who was the hero who took on the perp, and saved a victim.
HEY, gubmint - better wake up. This is the sort of thing that causes riots and civil wars. Not reserved for people of color, you know. We’re MAD AS HELL AND NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS @$&! ANYMORE!
A man who stabbed four people Wednesday morning at UC Merced before he was shot and killed by campus police was identified as Faisal Mohammad, a freshman student from Santa Clara.

We already have knife control.... There are lots of laws pertaining to switch blade knives.... They were enacted to stop gang violence in the 50's....
That really worked out, didn't it??
