Black Man Carries out Mass-Stabbing at Child’s Birthday Party
By ABC News. In an act of “pure evil,” a knife-wielding man stormed a 3-year-old girl’s birthday party at an apartment complex in Boise, Idaho, stabbing her, five other children and three adults — all refugees who had fled violence in their homelands only to find it in America, police said.
The man, whom police identified as Timothy Kinner, 30, was arrested in connection with the frenzied attack Saturday night.
The suspect’s motive was “vengeance” for being asked to leave an apartment in the complex due to his behavior, Boise Police Chief Bill Bones said during an emotional news conference Sunday afternoon.
“Our victims are some of the newest members of our community. They’re victims from their past homes who have fled violence from Syria, Iraq, and Ethiopia,” Bones said. . .
Bones said Kinner is from Los Angeles and had been invited to stay for a few days at the apartment of a renter who had shown him compassion, Bones said. But due to his disruptive behavior, Kinner was asked to leave the apartment on Friday, the chief said. (Read more from “Black Man Carries out Mass-Stabbing at Child’s Birthday Party” HERE)
