PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Pittsburgh police said a 12-year-old boy was stabbed inside a McDonald’s in Downtown Pittsburgh Saturday afternoon.

Police said they arrested 51-year-old Charles Edward Turner in connection with the stabbing. He’s facing several charges, including criminal attempted homicide.

The child was transported to the hospital in critical condition. A criminal complaint states that a doctor upgraded his condition to stable. It also said a black and yellow box cutter was recovered from the scene and a piece of razor blade that broke off the box cutter was recovered where the stabbing happened.

“It’s really quite a tragic thing on a beautiful Saturday downtown,” said Cara Cruz, she’s the Deputy Public Information Officer for the Pittsburgh Public Safety Department.

Police said the 12-year-old boy was stabbed in the neck inside McDonald’s on Liberty Avenue and Stanwix Street just after 2:00 p.m. Saturday. Cruz said the child was standing in line with his family when the incident happened.

“He was with his family, he was standing in line, they had just zipped in for one quick thing,” Cruz said.

People walking in the busy downtown area were shocked and scared when they heard the news.

“I think it’s terrible that something like that can happen,” said Anthony Benson, who just moved to Pittsburgh from Philadelphia.

If I remember correctly that describes the scenario in LA in 1992 during the riots, hence “Rooftop Koreans”.

That's exactly why.

They succeed because they value traditional family, education, personal responsibility and have strong work ethics, hence they are proxy Whites.

Are they registered? Did you go through the required background check, or did you buy them from a private collector?

(I’m sorry, just couldn’t resist)

How come the victims race wasn’t mentioned? They always mention the race of those involved when the suspect is a white guy!

I suppose if you are going to shoot someone that is as good excuse as any. It don’t take much to kill someone now a days. I can remember when they would found a tall tree limb and a short rope and put some air between the soles of his feet and the ground. But we are more civilized now. Now we understand that the shooter had an unhappy childhood and all is forgiven. Kinda bad for the victim, in this case the little girl. But who is perfect?

They also hate Koreans in a lot of cities. They hate East Indians in some places. My own take is it’s because these groups open businesses in black areas and are successful.


It’s that, yes. But I think they also hate these groups because they set up stores in, shall we say the sketchier neighborhoods, watch their customers like hawks so they don’t steal them blind and generally hire help from people they trust, like family members or people from their own community—not the ‘hood.

Pretty much every new group seems to figure out how to thrive in America except them. They resent it but don’t seem want to look for the real answers as to why that is. It’s so much easier to blame ‘racism’.

Our side needs to start shooting back. I know, I know...that’s not civil, let the law handle it. The thing is, the law ISN’T handling it. Like you said...bad childhood, stubbed toe, hangnail etc. poor babies just can’t help themselves.

Where was the child’s father? When I was that age, our parents protected us from the animals. If that happened when I was a child, the Police could not have helped him. The doctors could not have helped him. He would never cut another child in this World. But, we are a kinder, gentler , and more civilized people now.

“The suspect is black. What race is that boy ? If he is non black, hate crime it is”

I’ve read in other places that it was a 12 year old white boy standing in line with his family.
