A dozen people were stabbed at a shelter for the unhoused in Salem, Oregon, on Sunday evening, according to authorities.
Salem police said they arrested a man in connection with the mass stabbing carried out at about 7.15pm local time at a facility run by an organization called the Union Gospel Mission.
The suspect in the case was identified as Tony Latrell Williams, 42, of Bend, Oregon. Investigators said there was no indication Williams had targeted the shelter in advance of Sunday’s bloodshed.
First responders initially brought 11 victims to a local hospital with “varying types” of wounds. At a news briefing on Monday, Salem police deputy chief Treven Upkes said officers discovered a 12th stabbing victim while interviewing witnesses.
Five of those stabbed remained in critical condition Monday, police said.
