Police: Suspect dead after Crossroads stabbing
Several people were injured and the suspect died at Crossroads Center Saturday after a stabbing was reported about 8:15 p.m.
St. Cloud Police Sgt. Jason Burke told the Times multiple victims were taken to the hospital.
Later, in a 10 p.m. news conference, Burke confirmed that the suspect was killed and that his body was still inside the mall. Burke said an undetermined number of people still remain inside the mall, and that the investigation is ongoing. He said police would provide an update at about 11 p.m.
Shortly before 9 p.m., a St. Cloud police officer with an assault rifle could be seen near the west entrance of Macys. Other officers were searching shrubbery near the mall with flashlights, according to Times staffers on the scene.
"It was a pa-pow, and then we saw the people start to run, which didn't catch me at first," he said. "But when we heard the screaming, then we knew it was time to go."
The couple escaped unharmed and said they helped another woman who was running from the scene to her car.
Worried relatives of shoppers have gathered near the scene.
