MERCED — A suspect stabbed five people on a university campus in central California before police shot and killed him, authorities said Wednesday.

Two of the victims attacked at the University of California, Merced, were taken by helicopter to hospitals for treatment, spokeswoman Lorena Anderson said. The three other victims were treated locally, she said.

Student Alex Lopez was heading to his class, when he realized something was wrong on campus.

“I was listening to a podcast, and there was a break in talking, and I just hear a gunshot,” he said.

He said police and first responders flooded the scene.

“You see this stuff all over the news and stuff and you see it happen to all these other schools,” but you don’t expect it to happen at your school, said Lopez, 21.

The school remains on lockdown and classes have been canceled for the day. The stabbings occurred in the Classroom and Office Building shortly before 8 a.m. PST Wednesday, Anderson said.

This is a relatively new campus that depends heavily on foreign exchange students.

In my knife class I learned all things bring equal and a good trauma center 92% of gun shot victims survive but only 73% of knife victims.

Apparently we've over-thought the solution to guns and knives. It's not guns or knives that are the problem. The problem is our hands. If we just start removing people's hands, firing a gun or stabbing with a knife becomes incredibly difficult.

There, problem solved.

If you’re a nutcase and don’t have access to a gun, then you get:

Punchy
or Stabby
or Hammery
or Baseball Batty...

Perhaps a BDS nut case wanted to show solidarity with the Arab Muslims and stab some Jews?

We will see and it may take a while.

With the mass shooting in Colorado Springs, it took more than 2 days to ID the shooter.

Years ago, some cop in the northeast said he wanted to ban knives because “The knife is always loaded.”
