“5 people stabbed in Tallahassee, suspect in custody

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A man ordered to leave a construction-supply business after quarreling with co-workers returned minutes later and stabbed five employees Wednesday in Florida's capital, seriously wounding one of them, authorities said.

Police in Tallahassee were still trying to determine what set off the suspect and prompted him to pull out a pocketknife and stab co-workers before fleeing the workplace on foot. They identified the suspect as Antwann Brown, 41.

"It appeared that he actually sought out certain victims," interim Police Chief Steven Outlaw said during a news conference just yards from the business.

One victim was in serious condition at a hospital, two were in fair condition and another two were in good condition, said Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare spokeswoman Danielle Buchanan.”

If only there had been a good guy with a chef's knife.

What’s in a name?

Guessing by the perp’s name he’s not white enough to commit to a gun for such indiscretion.

The police chief gets points for literally being an Outlaw. That’s so meta.

I think these events are illustrative in the gun debate, but not in the way the gun nuts think. They tend to say “Look at this - if you’re going to ban guns, are you also going to ban all knives?”

I look at this and say a man popped a bolt, and acted out violently on his former workplace/coworkers/bosses...and no one died. Doesn’t always work out that way, but if he’d brought his gun, families would be planning funerals.
