Update II (11:43 a.m. September 14): The Metropolitan Community College stabbing story keeps getting weirder. The Star reports that the suspected slasher was wearing a bullet-proof vest and attacked a dean who had told him he couldn't bring a knife on campus.

The suspected stabber apparently crashed Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon's press conference:
Before the attack, the suspect had walked into a room where

the press conference was to be held "acting crazy," one witness said. He

briefly grabbed the microphone and said "check, check, check" and "can

you hear me" before leaving and walking across the hall into a computer

lab.

When the suspect exited the computer lab, that's when the confrontation with the dean occurred.

The Star also reports that witnesses claimed the man had "demonic tattoos on his hands" and drew symbols on a poster before the attack.


Update I (11:24 a.m. September 14):
The stabbing victim was a dean at the college, according to the Kansas City police's Twitter feed.

Original Story (11 a.m. September 14): Freaky story at Metropolitan Community College's

Penn Valley campus: A 40-year-old man's throat was slashed the college

this morning, and he's in the hospital with "serious injuries."

Witnesses

saw a man in his twenties walk up to the victim in the humanities

building and slash cut him without being provoked. They didn't just

watch idly. The witnesses tackled the suspect and held him down until

police arrived on the scene.

The witnesses told police that the man appeared to be on drugs. Police took the man in for questioning.

Fox 4 reports that Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon was

supposed to be at the college around that time to talk about expanding

the state's high-speed broadband access. But the station says Nixon

wasn't involved in the incident. KMBC Channel 9 reports that Nixon's

appearance was canceled.

Penn Valley is a government money handout pit, and should be shut down. I am a student there.
