Eight injured in stabbings at St. Cloud MN mall

A lone attacker stabbed eight people at a St. Cloud shopping mall Saturday night before being shot and killed by an off-duty police officer, according to city officials.

None of the victims’ injuries were considered life-threatening, but one was admitted to St. Cloud Hospital, Mayor Dave Kleis said during a midnight press conference. The other seven victims were treated at the hospital and released.

 

The suspect entered the Crossroads Center mall about 8 p.m. armed with a knife and wearing a private security uniform, St. Cloud Police Chief William Blair Anderson told reporters at the press conference. The suspect reportedly made references to Allah during the assaults and asked at least one of the victims whether they were Muslim, Anderson said.

An off-duty police officer from another jurisdiction confronted the suspect inside the mall and shot him to death, Anderson said. He did not identify the suspect, but said investigators have no reason to believe anyone else was involved in the attack.

“It’s an awful day,” Anderson said. “Starting tomorrow, things won’t be the same here.”

He added that “this obviously could’ve been a lot worse” if it not for the actions of the off-duty officer and other responding agencies.

Anderson declined to call the attacks an act of terrorism, saying the suspect’s motive is not yet known. “We will be diligent and get to the bottom of this,” he said.

Investigators continued examining the scene and interviewing witnesses at the mall into the early hours of Sunday morning. Anderson said the Federal Bureau of Investigation has offered assistance.

The mall will remain closed until further notice.

Information from the Associated Press and Forum News Service were used in this report.

Do cops need a cc to carry off duty? :dunno: 

No.  Bush signed into law stating the can all carry off duty in all 50 states.  HOWEVER,  they are not allowed to carry in any private place that prohibits guns without permission or a permit.  I got a retard keystone copper in the family.  Full on idiot...but, he knows a thing or two.

Whether or not a person is privileged by the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) of 2004 and its amendments in 2010 and 2013 to carry a concealed firearm depends on whether or not he or she meets the federal definitions for either a "qualified law enforcement officer" or a "qualified retired law enforcement officer." If a person meets the criteria, then "notwithstanding any other provision of the law of any State or any political subdivision thereof", he or she may carry a concealed firearm that has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce, in any state or political subdivision thereof.[1][n 1] As a result, an individual who qualifies under LEOSA does not require a state-issued permit for carrying a concealed firearm in any state, including that person's home state.
