This happened this morning on the way to my first day of classes. According to my recollection I was literally walking past the plaza it happened in while it was going on. I was going to my 10:00 class at the Music building, about a block down the street from the stabbing.
I only just heard about it after wondering about it after having to take a different route home because they taped off the whole area.
What a crazy thing to have happen on the first day of classes.
