An armed man who fatally stabbed one person and critically injured another at a Virginia technical school on Tuesday afternoon was killed in a shooting with police on campus, authorities said.
The double stabbing happened just before 3 p.m. at JATC/NECA technical school in Manassas, the Prince William County Police Department said.
Police Chief Peter Newsham described the scene at the school as “horrific.”
“You got folks that come out here to do some training and then the next thing you know, one of them has lost his life and another one is struggling for his life at a local hospital,” the chief told reporters at the scene. “I just … I cannot imagine what the families are going through right now.”
