2 killed and 5 injured in stabbing attack in Quebec City

A male suspect is in custody after two people were killed and five others injured in a stabbing attack Saturday night in Quebec City, reported CNN partner CBC News.

According to preliminary reports, the suspect was wearing medieval dress, the Quebec City Police Service said in a post on Twitter.
The five injured victims were transported to local hospitals with different levels of injury and the suspect was taken to the hospital for evaluation, police spokesperson Étienne Doyon said, according to CBC News.
Doyon would not say whether the attacks were random and did not identify the victims out of respect for the families, CBC News reported.
The attacks happened in Old Quebec, Doyon said. Police asked citizens to avoid the Parliament Hill area following the attacks as they searched for the suspect, according to the post.
Shortly after 1 a.m. local time, police said the suspect had been arrested in a post and asked citizens to stay indoors with their doors locked as they continued to search the area.

Once the identify the alleged perp, I wonder what PM Zoolander will say about it.

Just from that sentence, I make the thought that it is someone with a mental problem.

That was not in the story as I quoted it. According to CNN's website it was updated at 11:55 ET.

They should prevent immigration from anybody who goes to Renaissance fairs.

That would probably be a good idea on general principles anyway.

Maybe he could no longer differentiate from the role playing game he was on and reality.

I couldn’t imagine dying at the hands of a person in a medieval outfit. It would be a cruel cosmic joke to be so confused as the last thought.

There's a Tom Hanks propaganda film about satanic panic you should probably watch.

As I've been told, London has been completely taken over by Muslims, so no, a London thing would be 'Die, Infidel!'

If one dresses up in Middle-Eastern garb and kills people using a sword, one is not considered to be mentally ill, but an Islamic terrorist. If one dresses up like a Crusader and does similar, it goes without saying that one is bonkers. Obviously, one cannot be both.
