Three people stabbed by armed man during ‘Gender issues’ class at Canadian university
Three people have been stabbed by an armed man during a “Gender points” class at Canada’s University of Waterloo earlier than he was taken into custody, say officers.
The incident came about inside Hagey Corridor on the university’s campus in Ontario, Constable Brad Hickey of the Waterloo Regional Police Service informed CBC Information.
“All three victims have been transported to hospital with bodily accidents. The extent of the accidents are unknown at this time,” Const Hickey stated. “One particular person has been taken into police custody. Count on an elevated police presence on campus as officers proceed to clear buildings and guarantee public security.”
An eyewitness informed the university’s scholar newspaper that the suspect was a man aged between 20 and 30, who entered the classroom and requested the professor what the class was about.
Jinming Li says that the suspect closed the door and pulled out two knives from his backpack and attacked the professor, whereas college students fled to security.
“It feels stunning,” Mr Li stated.
Yusuf Kaymak, a scholar at the University of Waterloo, described what had occurred to CTV Information.
“The man principally walked in and requested the instructor if he was the professor, he stated ‘yeah’ then he pulled out a knife and after that, all people simply ran out,” Mr Kaymak stated to CTV.
“I ran out, and after we went exterior, there was a child that was stabbed. He was bleeding (from) his arm. I don’t know what occurred to the professor.”
