Multiple Stabbings in Massachusetts Town, 2 Killed, Attacker Shot Dead

An assailant stabbed at least six people, killing two, Tuesday at a home and a shopping mall in the U.S. state of Massachusetts before an off-duty sheriff shot the suspect to death, police said.

The violence began after the suspect, identified as Arthur DaRosa, 28, crashed his car into a truck around 7:00 pm (2300 GMT) in Taunton, south of Boston, around 4 miles (6 kilometers) from the mall, Bristol District Attorney Thomas Quinn III told reporters.

Entering a house, DaRosa stabbed two people, including an 80-year-old woman who died and her adult daughter who was under treatment for life-threatening injuries in the hospital, Quinn said without identifying the women.

DaRosa, of Taunton, then drove a car into the glass entrance at a Macy's department store at the city's Silver City Galleria, Massachusetts State Police said.

After assaulting people in the Macy's, he stabbed four more people at a restaurant in the mall, including a 56-year-old Taunton man who died, Quinn said.

Witnesses interviewed by local television stations said the victims included a pregnant woman who had been stabbed in the stomach.

Quite a rampage, I hope the pregnant woman and her baby can be saved.

It will be interesting to see if any motive is ever found for his rampage.
Let it burn.
