Emergency personnel were called to the Green Line Metropolitan Area Express (MAX) train at around 4:30 p.m.

Before the stabbing, the assailant was heard ranting on many topics using hate speech and biased language before turning his focus to the two young women.

“He was talking about a lot of different things, not just specifically anti-Muslim,” Sgt. Simpson said.

 

One person died at the scene and the other died at the hospital. The third victim was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Police say it is not clear whether the man has mental health issues or if he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the attack.

Terrible.

God Bless. Source– AFF
