San Jose police said two separate stabbing attacks occurred within minutes of each other at about 3 p.m. Pacific time. Police arrived at the first location and found a victim with life-threatening injuries, and officers were then called to a second location, where a second victim had life-threatening injuries after being stabbed and having their car stolen.
Police said as the suspect drove away in the vehicle, they hit a pedestrian. That victim’s injuries were not life-threatening, according to police.
Shortly after, the suspect, still driving the stolen vehicle, struck and killed two adult pedestrians, police said, according to local outlet ABC7.
