Sounds like someone’s honor was possibly at stake.

I saw no mention of his arrest, no description, no name either.

Or maybe Alejandro Myorkas might have one.

That’s near my former neighborhood. We’ve been following this all afternoon.
The Rockford Chief of Police, the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Police, the Mayor, AND the FBI were present.
Apparently the assailant was running into people’s homes and attacking them. I don’t know how the Postal employee died.

We are waiting on more information. The Rockford Police are not saying any more than they can right now. My wife has a high school friend who lives in that neighborhood. She and her family are safe.

Rockford seems like a nice spot. Like Chicago took a crap and it grew.

We are getting some spill-over from Chicago, but like everyone else, more drugs, more crime, more homeless people. But THIS is out of the ordinary.

However, in 1978, a Rockford man, Simon Peter Nelson, killed his 6 children when his wife told him she wanted a divorce.

Updated: 4 people dead, 11 injured.

Yeah, you’re right about the West side, but this happened on the Southeast side. Just a few blocks from my old neighborhood.

I’m surprised no one has blown the perp away.

I don’t have any idea of a time line for this, perhaps people were surprised in their homes and didn’t have a chance to defend themselves.

What a shock….

You don't need to know that.
