A 31-year-old man was making dinner Monday evening when he suddenly grabbed a knife and stabbed four people inside a York County home, killing his girlfriend and a child, Pennsylvania State Police said.

Keith Kretzer, of Edgewood, Maryland, is being held in York County Prison on two counts of homicide and two counts of attempted homicide in connection to the quadruple stabbing on the first block of Firebox Court in Hopewell Township. He was arraigned Tuesday morning.

An affidavit of probable cause filed by state police said this is what happened:

Kretzer was in the basement with his girlfriend Christine Fousek, 34, and a 5-year-old girl around 7:19 p.m. when he “believed that something took control of him and made him grab a knife,” state police said in the court documents.

He killed Fousek and the girl by stabbing them in the head, neck and torso, according to the affidavit. The York County Coroner’s Office pronounced them dead at the scene less than an hour later.

The affidavit said Kretzer also stabbed a 63-year-old woman in the home’s living room. She was taken to the hospital with severe injuries.

A 28-year-old man was in a second-floor bedroom playing video games when he heard screaming and saw Kretzer burst into the room, knife in hand. The affidavit said the 28-year-old forced the knife out of Kretzer’s hand, and a struggle ensued.

The 28-year-old survived and was also taken to the hospital with serious injuries, state police said. Authorities said the four victims are all Stewartstown residents.

Kretzer told investigators he “snapped out of it” while he was fighting the 28-year-old man, the affidavit said. He ran out of the home and toward a large field.

“I [expletive] up and went and killed people,” Kretzer said, according to the affidavit.

State police said investigators found marijuana, marijuana paraphernalia and psychedelic mushrooms in the home after the attacks.

The snapping always with defenseless people around.

Interesting, isn't it? These killers who "snap" sure seem to have a plan when they do it.

She was woken in the middle of the night by her husband trying to put a chloroform-soaked rag on her mouth. He’d gone nuts and intended to kill her and the kids.

She was lucky she woke up in time and your grandmother and uncle helped her and the kids.

Everyone needs to read Tell Your Children by Alex Berenson. It is a well researched book on the dangers of marijuana for mental illness and violence. It’s alsoan expose of the same overwhelming propaganda machine that gave us mRNA clotshots. The enemedia, business and powerful activist groups have conspired to suppress research on the clear dangers of weed to bring about legalization and the ruin of society.

It’s more common than you think, dope heads just don’t want to admit the truth about their magic medicine.

If there is any schizophrenia or bi-polar in your family going back 3 or 4 generations or sideways to aunts, uncles or 1st cousins, you are playing dope roulette.

Whether that child is born or unborn.

Insecure men can't stand the reminder that there had been someone else with "their" woman.

He has three final protective orders against him in Harford County, MD.

Three different women petitioners.

What do women see in this type of POS?
