Eight people are injured in 'random' stabbing rampage in Colorado Springs before victims manage to tackle suspect and hold him until cops arrive
2020-01-14
[MAIL] A stabbing rampage by a male suspect has left eight people injured near downtown Colorado Springs in attacks that were apparently carried out at random, police said Monday.

The suspect was restrained by some of his victims and arrested, police said in a statement.

Some of the victims were attacked on streets and some were found injured in the city's America the Beautiful Park, officials said.

Police first got calls about a stabbing near the Santa Fe Trail at 1:30am, according to KKTV.

They found two victims there, who said the attacker had fled down the trail.

Witnesses said the knife-wielder asked them about their faith.

#2  Coulter's Law is in effect!

Coulter's Law states that the longer it takes the news media to identify a mass shooter (stabber) in the United States, the less likely it is to be a white male.
