California college town Davis on edge after spate of stabbings leaves two dead

Police chief denounces ‘violent and brazen attacks’ as student, 20, and unhoused 50-year-old man killed

A northern California university town is on edge after a series of “violent and brazen” attacks in which three people were stabbed within a week – two fatally.

Authorities said they could not reveal whether they are searching for one or multiple suspects in the attacks, which began late last week. One of the victims who died was unhoused, and the other who died was a college student. In the most recent attack, an unhoused woman was injured after reportedly being knifed several times through her tent.
