Investigators said they recovered a kitchen knife used in the stabbing. Police could not say what led up to the attack.The victim has not yet been identified, but investigators did say he was not an employee of the library."An individual, a patron, entered the restroom where they located our victim on the ground and alerted the staff at the library," said Metro Police Department Chief Jeffery Carroll. "Obviously, this is concerning, there were multiple people inside the library when this occurred, but it didn't cause a disturbance inside the library."Police have not released information about anyone involved. The department’s homicide unit is investigating.7News crews watched as around a dozen investigators went in and out of the bathroom where in happened Friday evening. At one point, the group walked a body bag out of the building. They also opened up two different suitcases, a cooler and a bag, carefully inspecting what was inside, pulling out socks, books and smaller boxes."I could see the potential for something like this to happen," said Linda Bruce, who lives nearby. "I've seen some violence inside the library occasionally."People walking dogs and coming home from work tell 7News it was startling to see police swarm their quiet street."It doesn't really make me feel scared or anything, it was just surprising...it's a really friendly neighborhood," said Ralf Danon, who lives above the library.DC Public Library issued a statement saying the library would remain closed through Sunday and that a safety officer was on scene at the library when this happened. Leaders maintain, these situations are rare."Our libraries are safe and this should never discourage anybody from visiting," said Richard Reyes-Gavilan, Executive Director of DC Public Library.</div></body>
