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.

Time for knife control.

First step is registering all knives.

Remove all knives from school cafeterias so the sight of them doesn’t trigger panic attacks.

Blame the knife culture. With knives in virtually every home, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

Has Obama took to the White House Podium as promised and spoke out against this latest attack on students?

If not, why not?

Was it becasue the suspect used the wrong weapon?

Apparently, he brought a knife to what eventually turned out to be a gun fight...

Did this happen in the COB? Maybe it is time to ban all buildings.

“Time for knife control.”

Sensible, REASONABLE knife control, of course.

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

And, of course, assault knives must be the first to be banned, regardless of magazine size.

Oh wait...

I can’t believe that a person with a gun put a stop to the rampage. Guns are supposed to be evil and unsafe.

See, the “gun free” zone made sure it was safe campus where no bag guy could hurt someone. Oh, wait...

I bet that the poor knife was some how traumatized as a paring knife and grew up all angry to be a butcher knife, inserting itself in to the hands of the poor unsuspecting individual that knifed all those people.
