[Updated at 7:32 p.m. ET] Three people were in critical condition and one in stable condition after a stabbing incident Wednesday afternoon in Columbus, Ohio, that ended with the suspect being shot by police, Columbus authorities said.
The attack began inside a downtown building that houses Miami-Jacobs Career College, said Columbus Police Sgt. Rich Weiner.
The stabbing victims in critical condition underwent surgery at Grant Medical Center, while the one with less serious injuries was taken to Mount Carmel West hospital, officials said. The suspect was in critical condition at Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center, Weiner said.
"I was here within probably a minute, minute and a half of it being dispatched, and I can tell you it was a chaotic scene," said Columbus Police Chief Stephen Gammill.

Wow, reading thid comment thread is like monitoring a session of congress: lots of bickering getting everyone no where fast. Grow up folks.
Such passion! Reality is that we can't control people and without people all guns/knives/whatever are powerless. What about 20 to life meaning 20 to life, not 4 or 5 years? And my thoughts/prayers are with the victims.
Bangy wangy dangy
MeMelvin, America is a beautiful place! It has some violent and sick people (teenagers as well as senior citizens, included). Violent people who kidnap, brutalize & kill others have always been around. But in today's media, news travels faster than the speed of light (almost) and the focus of news seems to be on traumatic, bloody and life and family changing events. I seriously applaud those individuals who sleep peacefully through the night (without prescriptions, that is).
What the???

the charisma to pull off those dumb remarks.
Don't take it out on me!
