Two of those stabbed were transported for treatment via helicopter, the school said on Twitter, while the two others were treated on campus.

“All conscious,” the university tweeted about the victims.

No details were immediately available on what relationship, if any, existed between the assailant and the victims, said James Leonard, a school spokesman.

The school initially reported five people were stabbed, but later said the figure was four, said Lorena Anderson, a school spokeswoman.

School officials weren’t releasing additional information on the attacker, Leonard said.

“I’m sure more information will come out on the student shortly,” Leonard said of the assailant.

The student was shot by police and later died, the UC Merced Police Department said.

The victims were attacked in front of the Classroom and Office Building, the school said in a statement. The school initially reported that all of the victims were students, but later said that not all of them were students.

“The situation is under control,” the school said Wednesday morning.

“Campus is locked down. Do not come to campus. If you’re on campus, stay where you are,” the school said. “Though there is no active danger, getting on and off campus is difficult.”

The campus has been closed, and classes were canceled,according to the university.

The stabbing occurred about 8 a.m. as morning classes were beginning. About 15 minutes later, the student was subdued, the university said.

Her agonized cries grow louder as the barrage of stones intensifies.

The barbaric killing took place in a Taliban-controlled village in central Afghanistan last week, according to the provincial governor. Video of it, apparently filmed on a cell phone, has circulated on social media.

The 19-year-old woman, identified as Rokhshana, had been forced to marry against her will and recently fled with another man, said Seema Joyenda, the governor of Ghor province. The couple were caught after two days, and the Taliban leader of the village ordered that Rokhshana be stoned to death for adultery, Joyenda said.

The killing underlines the widespread problem of violence against women in Afghanistan. Earlier this year, the brutal killing of a 27-year-old woman by a mob in Kabul, the capital, stirred outrage both inside the country and around the globe.

A nine-year-old boy died Monday night after collapsing during a Big Bend Youth Football League practice in Meigs County, Ohio.

WSAZ.com reported the news, indicating Wyatt Barber, a third-grader at Eastern Elementary, fell to the ground unconscious and allegedly was not breathing after his team took a break from running sprints.

Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood provided the information on Barber, whose cause of death has yet to be revealed. Scott Gheen, superintendent of the Eastern Local School District, released a statement following Monday’s tragedy, per WSAZ’s report:

The staff, students, and community of Eastern Local would like to express our sincere condolences to the family during this very unfortunate time. The school has put in place grief counseling services to assist the students and staff in need. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.

Emergency medical service personnel were alerted of Barber’s situation at approximately 7:30 p.m. local time Monday and found coaches attempting CPR on-site. They transported him to Meigs Emergency Room, where he died.

Monday evening’s practice was a walkthrough without any contact and was held at Eastern High School.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — A law enforcement official has identified the man who killed three people during a rampage through the streets of Colorado Springs as 33-year-old Noah Jacob Harpham.

The official with direct knowledge of the investigation was not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation. The official on Monday confirmed Harpham’s identity on the condition of anonymity.

Witnesses say Harpham had a rifle in one hand and a revolver in the other when he killed a bicyclist on Saturday. He then walked less than a mile and fatally shot two women who were on a porch of a sober living home. Witnesses say he was then killed in a gunbattle with police.

Colorado Springs police have not released the names of the gunman or victims, pending the completion of autopsies.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Two women killed by a gunman who roamed the streets of Colorado Springs with a rifle were shot as they chatted on the porch of their residence for sober living, while a third victim was a bicyclist who begged for his life as the shooter wordlessly fired.

Authorities have released few details about the shootings that happened Saturday in broad daylight, refusing to identify those killed or the suspect, who died in a gunbattle with police. But a fuller picture of the three victims emerged from those who knew them and witnesses who described a terrifying scene.

The gunman first took aim at a young man riding a bicycle, shooting him several times and leaving him face-down on the sidewalk, witnesses said. The man then marched down the streets with a rifle in one hand and a revolver in the other.

About a half-mile away, he turned suddenly, shooting two residents on the porch of a home for women in addiction recovery. He then continued down the block as police closed in, shooting at officers and shattering the window of a squad car before they fired back, said Matthew Abshire, who followed the gunman after he heard gunshots, looked out his window and saw a man firing a rifle.

“It looked totally random,” said Abshire, who rushed to help the women, using his shirt as a tourniquet. “He walked calmly and collectedly. His demeanor was like he was having a stroll in the park.”

Bullet holes were still visible in the home’s siding Sunday, and a pair of red roses lay on the bench where the women could often be found together.

“Those ladies were often on the porch, almost always they said good morning,” said Benjamin Broadbent, lead minister of the First Congregational Church of Colorado Springs who lives nearby.

As dusk fell, he led a candlelight vigil for a group of more than 50 people, urging compassion, even for the family of the gunman.

Those who knew the women said they were working hard to improve their lives. Adrieanna Waldridge, the roommate of one of the victims, said her friend had been excelling at a new job and had looked forward to taking her two young children trick-or-treating.

“We were going to be each other’s sober buddies,” she said. “It feels like a part of me is missing.”

The shooting has shaken other women living in the home, Waldridge said.

Naomi Bettis, who lives across the street from where the bicyclist was killed, did not know him but laid a bouquet of flowers and note where he died.

“My thoughts are with you,” she said. “Praying for the family. I’m sorry for your loss.”

Bettis said she saw the gunman, in a green jacket and cap, shoot the cyclist, who was coming down the block.

“His last words were ‘Please God, no,'” said another neighbor, Teresa Willingham, who saw the man lying face down in the street, his mangled legs still intertwined in his bike. “He was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.”
