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.

The MSM-Democrats are trying to touch off a Rwandan Genocide situation, which (as you may recall) was fomented and coordinated by Rwandan electronic media, owned by the Hutu majority.

No description of suspect arrested.

“...has died after being stabbed in the neck...”

Hmmmmm....

Mass stabbings. It’s the knife. Time to ban knives.

OK, read the story - he was talking to a woman when a knifer comes up from behind and stabs her, then turns and stabs another woman. The cop disarms and cuffs the knifer, then renders aid and calls it in.

I wonder if the guy was afraid the women would tell the cop something about him.

On-the-scene reporter said “chaotic scene”.

Looked like a lot of simple milling about by the local constabulary.

Was it a garbage bag or someone wearing a hajib? I can’t tell difference sometimes.

My thought is that
if you don't wear the hijab you get raped, but
if you do wear the hijab you get stabbed in the neck.

Which is why you need a tin foil hijab...

To my knowledge, we still don’t have a name of the stabber here in Orange County, CA who killed four and injured at least two more in a rampage yesterday.

Random attacks at different locations.

Local news just showed the attacker being escorted from the police station. It was a young black guy with a Muslim looking beard. Police and reporters are baffled by the attack. The mayor of Pittsburgh loves his Muslims!
