KNIFE-WIELDING MUSLIM ID'D IN CAMPUS ATTACK

18-year-old 'fits the profile' of ISIS-inspired jihadist

An engineering student who went off on a stabbing spree Wednesday, wounding four people on the campus of U.C.-Merced before being shot and killed by police, has been identified as Faisal Mohammad.

Mohammad was a freshman student residing in Santa Clara.

Police have released almost no information about what appears to be a case of a Muslim attacker who tried to kill two students, a student counselor and a construction worker Wednesday morning.

The attack occurred around 8 a.m. on the bustling college campus in the San Joaquin Valley about 120 miles south of Sacramento.

Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke confirmed the identity of the 18-year-old computer-science and engineering major who went on a stabbing rampage with a large hunting knife.

Police said they couldn’t decipher a motive but Robert Spencer, the Islam expert and author of the JihadWatch blog, said it was pretty clear to him.

“The Islamic State (ISIS) has been calling for jihad attacks by individual Muslims against individual infidels in the U.S.,” Spencer told WND. “Their claim to be the caliphate has been compelling enough for 30,000 young Muslims from around the world to travel to Iraq and Syria to join them, and for many others in Western countries to heed their calls for violence. Faisal Mohammad fits the profile of a young Muslim who would find that caliphate claim attractive and be willing to act upon ISIS’ marching orders.”

Mohammad was shot and killed by campus police as he ran from the two-story classroom building where police said his stabbing spree began.

“He had a smile on his face, he was having fun,” a construction worker who helped stop the attack told CBS 47.

Police detonated his backpack and are testing a substance inside, KGO reports.
The four victims are expected to survive.

Warnke told the Merced Sun-Star that investigators, including the FBI, were “still trying to determine the motive” for Mohammad’s attack.

Pamela Geller, who survived an attack on a Muhammad cartoon drawing event earlier this year, said the motive should be obvious for anyone willing to cut through the political correctness of the day.

Mohammad was armed with a hunting knife 8-10 inches long when he entered a second-floor classroom as class was starting Wednesday and struggled with a male student, stabbing him.

“The knife jihad comes to America — like the knife attacks on Jews in Israel, and on hundreds of Chinese commuters by Chinese Muslims (Uighurs), secular bloggers and writers in Bangladesh, yesterday’s knife attack on tourists in Morocco,” Geller wrote at her blog, PamelaGeller.com. “It is a new wave of terror.

“What’s Obama going to do – call for ‘knife control’? Import millions more of these devout savages?”

Right after the attack the dorm where Mohammad lived was evacuated and searched by the local bomb squad, reports the school newspaper, the Prodigy. One student who knew Mohammad’s room mate said the suspect was “rarely ever in the room.”

Speaking to ABC Fresno, that room mate, identified as Andrew Velasquez, said Mohammad “didn’t talk much and kept to himself.” He added, “Every time I would try and say something he would just ignore it.”

The wounded included two students along with a female student advisor and a construction worker who was part of a remodeling detail. It was this construction worker, 31-year-old Byron Price, who is being described as taking heroic action to stop further carnage. He was working in a nearby room and heard a commotion, then intervened.

Price told CBS 47, “It was a really big knife and he was swinging it down so I figured if I was on the ground and my feet were at him, he could get my legs and not my body.”

If it had not been for Price, “the first victim could have been a lot worse off, or even dead,” Warnke said. “The cops on campus, oh my gosh, praise them because they stopped a threat, but this first guy, he stopped a death.”

Price drew the suspect’s attention and was slashed around the waist during the confrontation. Price’s co-workers drove him to Mercy Medical Center where he was treated and later released.

Detectives believe Mohammad then left the building and stabbed another male student outside.

Warnke said the suspect ran out of the room after attacking the construction worker and ran down two flights of stairs to the outside.

He then found the student adviser sitting on a bench and stabbed her twice, officials said.

The suspect fled the building. He was shot and killed by pursuing campus police on a nearby foot bridge.

All the victims were conscious when paramedics reached them, Assistant Vice Chancellor Patti Waid said.

Lensy Maravilla, 19, a first-year student, said she was in a biology class on the second floor of the same building, when a female student ran in.

Maravilla said the student “was crying hysterically and came in and said that she had seen somebody get stabbed, or slashed, in the throat and she ran.”

The main road to enter the campus remained closed to outside traffic Wednesday night and classes were canceled until Friday at the university. Police were allowing students who live on campus to come and go, but anxious parents waited in their vehicles at the end of the dark roadway about a half mile from the campus entrance.

Two university police officers chased Mohammad to a bridge on the campus, where he was shot and killed. The identities of those officers have not been released. One of the officers was placed on an automatic three-day leave from the department, a standard protocol in officer-involved shootings.

One student remained hospitalized Thursday but was expected to recover and the other student was released after being treated, according to a statement from university spokeswoman Lorena Anderson.

The student adviser, a member of the U.C. Merced staff, suffered a collapsed lung and was recovering Thursday after successful surgery, she said.

The FBI and U.S. Department of Homeland Security are involved in the investigation.

Classes at the campus northeast of Merced were canceled Thursday. Chancellor Dorothy Leland said activities on the campus would resume Friday.

My comments: This type of Demonic Act is possible from every Muslim who believes the Koran. That is why Muslims do not belong in America, contrary to what Obama and the Democrats are currently doing, in bring more and more of them here.
