At least two dead and multiple worshipers seriously injured in mass stabbing at a Baptist church in San Jose
The San Jose Police Department tweeted just after 8:40pm local time that officers had responded to a series stabbings at Grace Baptist Church
Multiple victims were found at the scene; some with life-threatening injuries
San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo confirmed that two victims had died and claimed that a suspect was in custody in a since-deleted tweet
Moments after, SJPD confirmed the deaths, writing that 'two victims had succumbed to their injuries and have been pronounced dead'
But the department said 'No confirmation of an arrest', with the scene still active
No services were being held at the church at the time of the attack
The SJPD said a number of 'unhoused' individuals had been brought inside the church in the hours prior 'get them out of the cold'

Two people have reportedly died and multiple others are seriously wounded following a mass stabbing at a California Baptist church on Sunday night.

The San Jose Police Department tweeted just after 8:40pm local time that officers had responded to a series stabbings at Grace Baptist Church, located on the 400 block of E San Fernando Street.

They followed up the message just under an hour later at 9:30pm, with a post confirming 'multiple stabbing victims' had been discovered at the scene, some of whom had suffered 'life threatening injuries.'

It says that there were no services and refer to unhoused individuals.

It sounds like they were trying to act as a homeless shelter and it went sideways.

and so marginalized people can become desperate and violent.

We need to do much more for this end of society's bell curve and provide some sense of sustainable support. We need residential facilities and solid, trained staffing, including security officials.
