So this…
The moment a man is shot in central Hague, Netherlands after stabbing several people some of whom are in a critical condition
– a bullet to the head would’ve been the best outcome. I like how even the police are on bicycles in Holland

Keira Gross, 14, from Lichtenberg in Berlin
Keira G. (14) from Lichtenberg: Stabbed in the nursery

Lichtenberg — She was just beginning to conquer the world. The first love, the first heartbreak. But then Keira G. (14) fell in with the wrong person. Apparently, she trusted her future killer and took him home. In the nursery, the meeting ended in a deadly bloodbath.
The mother of the 14-year-old made the terrible discovery on Wednesday evening in the flat on the Plauener Street. At about 5.30 pm she found her daughter in the child’s room with several knife-wounds.
“The autopsy confirmed the suspicion”
For nearly 90 minutes, the rescuers tried to revive the girl. However the as yet unknown perpetrator had acted like a madman when he stabbed the young victim. Keira G. died before her mother’s eyes. The woman collapsed and has been cared for by a pastor ever since. A murder commission took over the investigation.
“The autopsy confirmed the suspicion that the adolescent has been the victim of a homicide,” said Martin Steltner, a spokesman for the prosecutor. “Further details can’t be released because of the ongoing investigation.” For the investigators, the case is a mystery. A squad of a hundred police officers searched the area on Thursday morning looking for the murder weapon. They checked out every bin, under every car, in every shrubbery. To no avail.
The team of hundred men searches for the murder weapon.
Murder investigators were knocking on doors everywhere in the neighborhood, showing a photo of the deceased. The officials hope to get information about their contacts and their last place she was seen. Through an evaluation of her cell phone, the police already have a suspect in mind. Investigators assume that the perpetrator and the victim knew each other.
The police therefore assume it was a relationship crime. A neighbor reported that he heard a fight in the evening and loud door-banging. “It might be able to proceed to an arrest soon,” said one investigator.
No witnesses
According to information from neighbors, the 14-year-old lived in an apartment alone with her mother and a small dog, a Jack Russel mix. Keira G. was a passionate skater at the Berlin TSC [sports club]. She regularly trained in the nearby indoor sports stadium.
Because there are no witnesses so far, it is quite possible that the police will go public with a call for witnesses.
Note: we took these photos from Keira’s Facebook page. We are aware some will find that disrespectful, but we politely disagree. We think the German media’s anonymizing victims is disrespectful; denying them their individuality.
Two knife attacks on Praterstraße in downtown Vienna, at least 4 injured.
Update: Vienna Police announce one arrest made in connection with second stabbing. Connection to first stabbing not yet established. Suspect is an Afghan.

Knife-Attack in Praterstraße – 3 Wounded
An unknown person attacked passers-by randomly in Vienna-Leopoldstradt. Three were critically injured.
An unknown person seemingly randomly stabbed passers-by on Wednesday evening on Praterstraße near subway station Nestroyplatz, and subsequently fled in the direction of Praterstern. According to first information, there are at least three critically wounded – they are in critical condition.
The exact details of the deed are still unknown. The perpetrator is currently on the loose. Police and special unit WEGA are carrying out operations. Officers in heavy equipment with assault rifles search the area. Police cars are patrolling the streets with flashlights.
Victims between 40 and 50 years old
According to police, the victims are one man and two women – a couple and their adult daughter. The two women have been stabilized by now, but the man is still in critical condition. Rescuers are in action with eight emergency vehicles and an emergency subway train.
Possibly further victims
After the deed, there was another person critically injured by knife stabbing at Praterstern. Police announce that they are investigating whether there is a connection between the two deeds. Praterstern is just a few walking minutes away from Praterstraße.
Current information on the operation in the #Praterstraße area: at 7:45PM, a perpetrator wounded three people with a knife. Shortly afterwards, a second assault occurred at Praterstern. The connection is subject of current investigation.

Police securing house entrances
The search for the perpetrator is still ongoing. Heavily armed police officers secure house entrances. Around 9:20 PM, an ambulance with flashlights raced downtown.
Subways turned around
The subways around Nestroyplatz were rerouted as a precaution. One of the U2 trains waited for 10 minutes at Praterstern before it turned around and returned to Taborstraße.
Police are combing the immediate neighbourhood, the Kärntner Street and the Donau channel.
2. Time quote an eye witness:
Witness Silvia Franke said she was about 100 meters (330 feet) away when the incident happened.
“I saw how someone in the middle of the street was screaming and shouting — I thought he was beating his dog judging from his hand movements,” she said. “And in reality he was stabbing this man.”
“He could have stabbed me as well had I been there by chance,” Franke said. “He had lost all control.”

There is something truly wrong with the reporting of this event:
So the headline makes the guy who was shot indisputably the victim of something. Right? Being shot by police for something innocuous. Buying cereal.
But why was he shot?
A 25-year-old man is dead after an Ottawa police-involved Carleton Avenue shooting on Sunday evening.
Police responded to reports of a stabbing on Carleton and Wellington Street West at around 6:45 p.m., arriving to a scene at a Metro grocery store where it was reported that multiple people had been stabbed in what began as a dispute over cereal. The man fled, and police found him a few blocks away in an alleyway near the corner of Western Avenue and Spencer Street.
According to the province’s Special Investigations Unit, there was “an interaction” between the man and police. One of the officers discharged his firearms multiple times, striking the man, who was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Ok he stabbed multiple people. Well that isn’t very nice.
And over a dispute over cereal. When Egri read that, she assumed that something on the box spelled “Mohammad” in Arabic. Or perhaps “Allah”. But then why flee? Why not go down a martyr right away instead of bringing a knife to a gunfight in an alley?
Stranger and stranger.
