Four people were found dead and seven others were injured in a stabbing rampage across multiple areas in Rockford, Illinois, on Wednesday afternoon, police say, and a suspect is in custody.

A 15-year-old girl, a 63-year-old woman, a 49-year-old man, and a 22-year-old man were killed in the incident and five others who were injured were transported to local hospitals with “serious injuries,” the Rockford Police Department said in a news release Wednesday evening.

Five people were injured in the city of Rockford and two people were injured in the jurisdiction of Winnebago County, Rockford police spokesperson Michelle Marcomb told CNN.

This guy broke into homes to stab people.

Justification for ownership of all the swords in my home.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

I read your username as "dual spork" and thought this person knows how to defend their home.

Statistically, you are more likely to die at home than anywhere else.

Well yeah, cause that's where most people spend the majority of their time lol.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

That's what I thought at first, but that number is actually global. For developed countries, it's only like 21%, and the most common location is the hospital. Conclusion: developed countries have better access to medical services so you go to the hospital for critical care, while in less developed countries you just go home and die.

What causes the death, and where that happens, is another question.

It's (probably) still true that you're most likely to get in a car accident near your home, but that is because that's where you do most of your driving.

Just never leave the Living Room

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

And stay the fuck out of the Dying Room.

But I spent all that time and money setting up the deadly obstacle course! If I don't use it from time to time, it will be a complete waste!

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

You can, I guess. But don't come crying to me if you're dead.
