PITTSBURGH - One of two women stabbed Thursday at a bus stop in downtown Pittsburgh has died, police said.

One of the women was talking to a police officer when someone behind the officer attacked her and another woman with a knife, authorities said.

The stabbing happened about 11:30 a.m. outside the Burlington Coat Factory on Sixth Avenue, which is shut down between Wood and Smithfield streets. A large police presence is in the area.

A witness told Channel 11’s Aaron Martin at least one of the women was wearing a hijab.

At least not a mass stabbing.

Hijab and knife? Probably a family dispute or honor killing.

That corner and that particular store has been a hotspot for criminal violence for some time.

Was it a hate crime or an attempted honor killing?
Who knows?

Don’t worry, the police will protect you. Or at least arrest someone and write a report after you are dead.

I was thinking the same thing—it could have been a hate crime, or maybe a “domestic” by a muslim perp.

Odd that they did it right near a police officer.

The police did not do a great job with this.

Funny how a guy in a hijab stabbing victims and yelling “alaho snackbar” shouldn’t be assumed to be a terrorist.

But if that same guy is stabbed by anyone else, it’s white Christian islamophobia in action.

Yes, isn’t that the truth.

I forget the exact wording, but I saw this the other day and it struck home.

If they find a one celled entity on Mars they’ll call it life.

When it comes to humans in the womb, life doesn’t start for nine months, IF the kid is lucky.

The officer who was talking to one of the women was able to subdue the suspect before helping to give medical aid to the victims, officials said.

Nevermind
