Five students were injured in a stabbing rampage on the Merced campus of the University of California that ended when the suspect was shot dead by campus police, local media reported on Wednesday.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The stabbing took place on Wednesday morning inside the Classroom and Office Building (COB) on the Merced campus, the local WPVI news station reported.

University of California Merced issued a warning on Wednesday morning warning students to avoid the campus as there had been at least one stabbing in the COB, the report said.

All the stabbing victims remain conscious, the report added.

Three of the victims were flown by helicopter to a local hospital, and the other three received medical treatment on campus.

The campus was shut down and the California Highway patrol diverting traffic around it, according to the report.

It’s long past time for a safe knife law in California. California needs to lead the way.

Let’s see which Assemblyman introduces the legislation in Sacramento first. There’ll be a stampede to the cameras and microphones.

Aside from the inevitable comparisons with gun control rhetoric, this is a big deal if Jews in the US are being targeted in knife attacks. Hopefully not.

Obama’s buddies in the Palestinian Authority seem to use the same tactic, often with the same result.

I have to admit I've been wondering if this might have been inspired by the knife Intifada going on in the West Bank.

The victim who was shot was an aspiring surgeon who was trying to show off the scalpel he had invented. Some racist must have thought they guy was doing something wrong.

Why wasn’t the campus declared a “Knife Free Zone”?

Yep, and federal tax stamps for larger knives.
Jackboots will begin entering your house and going through your kitchen drawers to look for violations.

These knives must be stopped. Think of the children.

Sounds like what is happening in Jerusalem and other parts of the Promise Land.

My Glock goes when and where we go. Simple as that. He brings a knife or a gun, I have my gun with hollow points ready to go.

Prayers up for the five victims of whatever this person was the campus police shot, and killed.

Pray for their speedy recovery, and their awakening.

Same here. Where I live Obama is bringing in Syrians with questionable backgrounds.

“Why wasn’t the campus declared a “Knife Free Zone”?”

Close to that. Students can’t bring knives with blades longer than 2 1/2”.

Only government officials should be able to carry knives. Let them come over and cut your steak for you, don’t try it yourself. The answer to all of this senseless violence, salsbury steak.

Ban cheap Ginsu knives. Get them off the street now!

Have there been any calls for “Common Sense Knife Control” yet? How long should we have to wait after this outrage? Especially happening in the near gun-free county of Mexifornia.

“I’m guessing a major clean up of his social media accounts is in progress “

Twitter seems free of any first person accounts, and no one seems to be covering the 4PM (PST) news conference.

I guess that this wasn’t the droid we were looking for.
