Police in Idaho said Tuesday they believe an "edged weapon" such as a knife was used in a "targeted attack" on four college students, shedding light on a case that has left a local community shocked and grappling with unanswered questions.

Police in the city of Moscow said they have not recovered a weapon but came to the conclusion based on preliminary information. The victims — three women and one man, all students at the University of Idaho — were found dead before noon Sunday at a private home about a half-block from campus...

"Investigators believe this was an isolated, targeted attack and there is no imminent threat to the community at large," the police said.

This is the perfect excuse for NATO to bomb Moscow.

There is more to this story - 4 kids killed in a knife attack, killer on the loose, but cop’s make the claim there is no danger to the community.....right.

Either 1 of the 4 dead is the killer, or something else is going on.

“The mayor of Moscow, Art Bettge, has speculated the deaths may be linked to a property crime “gone wrong” or a “crime of passion,” but without a suspect or knowing whether anything was missing from the home, a motive remains elusive.”

A lot of news outlets are reporting the mayor’s speculation as fact.

I read on Tweater the cops are hiring OJ Simpson as a consultant on the case.

Apparently 1 of the 4 dead is the killer.

The one that was found outside the home, probably stabbed themselves after killing the three others.

Just a guess..................

Four students murdered, no suspect in custody.

”Don’t worry about it.” say authorities. “It is as an isolated attack.”

WTF?

Four victims against one killer with a knife?

The victims must’ve been sleeping, caught by surprise, or unable to fight back.

So young with their whole lives ahead of them. :-(

Then they would be calling it a murder/suicide, right?

Unless it was Batman who swung in, killed the killer, and then disappeared into the night.

My first reaction as well.

The folks in Moscow might want to keep their doors double locked for a while longer, imo.

It was a “targeted” attack....so, others aren’t subject to that motive....

Yeah. Okay. This is why we don't want to appeal to authority in our arguments. Some psycho just hacked four people to death and he or she is not a threat to the community at large? Why not? I guess at four per day, it would take almost 17.5 years to kill everyone in the town.
