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.

Campus stabber's manifesto included 'praise for Allah,' plan for beheading

A handwritten manifesto carried by a California college student whose stabbing spree Wednesday left four wounded bore names of his targets, a vow "to cut someone's head off" and as many as five reminders to "praise Allah,'' law enforcement authorities told FoxNews.com, while insisting that neither terrorism nor religion appear to be motives in the attack.

In the two-page document found in Faisal Mohammad's pocket by the county coroner, the 18-year-old freshman wrote a numeric list outlining his plans of who he wanted to kill, and how, including beheading and shooting his victims, Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke told FoxNews.com

''No. 27 was to 'make sure people are tied down,' No. 28 was 'sit down and praise Allah,' Warnke said. 'I remember seeing four or five times, scribbled on the side of the two-page manifesto, where he wrote something like 'praise Allah.'
