ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (CBS) – Two female tourists were stabbed to death in what appears to have been a random and unprovoked attack in Atlantic City Monday.
At about 10 a.m., an officer on patrol in the 1900 block of Pacific Avenue in Atlantic City saw a 44-year-old woman, identified as Antoinette E. Pelzer, stabbing another woman. The officer drew his gun and ordered Pelzer to drop the knife. She complied and was taken into custody.
Police say an 80-year-old woman and a 47-year-old woman, both Canadian residents, were stabbed multiple times in the upper body region and taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center where they succumbed to their injuries.
It is unclear if the victims are related; their names are being withheld pending family notification.
Witnesses say Pelzer was attempting to rob one of the victims of her purse. There is no indication the victims and suspect knew each other, according to investigators.
Pelzer had a driver’s license from Pennsylvania and police are looking into where and how long she has been staying in Atlantic City. Those who knew Pelzer are shocked to hear of the news.
“She’s a very good girl, she’s very upstanding and has been a very good friend of mine,” said one woman who did not wish to be identified.
Pelzer is charged with unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose and robbery. She was also charged with two counts of aggravated assault, but it is anticipated that there will be additional charges due to the deaths of the victims. Bail was not set as of 6 p.m. Monday.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact the Atlantic City Police Department Criminal Investigations Unit at 609-347-5766.
Somehow, this has to be George Zimmerman’s fault. Or Sarah Palin’s. Or Rush Limbaugh’s.

Thanks BenLurkin.
Yikes. She was probably on the way to her hair stylist and needed more cash to pay in advance. /s
By the end of summer, Obama will have what he wants - a full blown race war.
If this were the other way around it would be a national emergency.
This whole thing could have been avoided if the two Canadian women had just stayed in their car. Getting out of their car is what precipitated the entire incident. They should have known better.
If you pull the wings off a fly, does that make it 'walk'?
Good....I'm ready. I predict it will last 24-72 hours. After the gangbangers get thinned out, ALOT, the next 20 years will be rather peaceful. Hopefully we can have the "Just US Brothers" and professional race pimps hanging from a light post by the end of the shooting phase.
Yes it does!
Just as when a building is completed, it’s called a “built.”
Hussein’s fault. There is more and more of this.
Was this for TRAY-von?
How is this not a hate-crime? Oh, that's right, Eric "the hypocrite" Holder said that there's no such thing as hate crimes against whites.
They weren’t just killed, Mr. Quinones, they were MURDERED.
