California Knife Attacker Identified as Militant Quaker Extremist

I'm just guessing the religion of the knife-wielding attacker -- who stabbed multiple innocents at UC Merced -- based upon his name.

The UC Merced student who wounded four people in a stabbing spree at the campus has been identified as Faisal Mohammad, a[n 18 year-old] freshman student from Santa Clara...

...Mohammad was shot and killed by UC Merced police just after 8 a.m. on Wednesday morning as he ran from the two-story classroom building where investigators said his violent spree began ...

...investigators, including the FBI, were still trying to determine the motive for Mohammad’s attack, which wounded two students, a female student advisor and a construction worker who was on campus for a remodeling project. The four suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

...Byron Price, a 31-year-old construction worker, was leading a crew in a nearby room when he heard the commotion and went to intervene. Warnke described Price’s actions as heroic... “Without him, the first victim could have been a lot worse off, or even dead,” he said.

...Two university police officers chased Mohammad to a bridge on the campus, where he was shot and killed. The identities of those officers have not been released. One of the officers was placed on an automatic three-day leave from the department, a standard protocol in officer-involved shootings.

Reacting to the news, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) proposed new regulations that would require citizens to register their knives and would allow victims of attacks to sue knife manufacturers for malicious use of their products.
