Two women were stabbed, one fatally, right in front of a police officer late Thursday morning in the middle of downtown Pittsburgh.
The incident was reported around 11:40 a.m. at 6th and Smithfield Streets, at a Port Authority bus shelter. The scene is not far from a Rite Aid, Burlington Coat Factory and the entrance to the Duquesne Club.
According to witnesses, a least one of the victims may have been wearing a hijab, a garment worn by Muslim women.
The name of the woman killed has not been released.
According to Pittsburgh Police Chief Scott Schubert, a Zone 1 police officer was patrolling the area when he noticed a woman sleeping under a bus shelter.
The officer turned his patrol car around to check on the woman.

Mass stabbings. It’s the knife. Time to ban knives.
= = = = = = =
Only high capacity & fully automatic knives.
Well, I’m willing to cut him a little slack, after all, I don’t think most cops expect anyone to run up and brazenly stab someone right in front of them. Doesn’t seem like the type of common situation they are going to train all the time to deal with.
Thanks for the update.
What could the women say that would be worse than a murder rap?
“I want to leave islam” might do it.
Yup, an honor killing.......but will be lied about......
Yeah ...... I want to know more about this!!!
“Not gonna lie, my first thought is “honor killing””
My first thought too.
“...we still don’t have a name of the stabber here in Orange County, CA”
Still no name, but they said he was “a gang member.”
We all know what that translates into.
