A 22-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a stabbing spree Wednesday afternoon in Rockford, Illinois, that left four people dead, including a U.S. postal worker and a teenage girl, and seven other victims injured, police said.
The suspect, Christian Soto, was arrested in the frenzied attack, according to the Rockford Police Department. Soto faces four counts of murder and seven counts of attempted murder, as well as two counts of home invasion with a dangerous weapon, authorities said.
A motive for the attack remains under investigation, police said.
The names of the slain victims were not immediately released, but police said they include a 15-year-old girl, a 63-year-old woman, a 49-year-old man, and a 22-year-old man. One of the victims was said to be in critical condition, with four others in serious condition.
"Words can't even express my thoughts right now; this is a pretty painstaking event," Rockford Police Chief Carla Redd said at a news conference Wednesday, adding, "This was a heinous crime."

58 miles slightly northwest from crime scene to O’hare as the crow flies.
Clearly a white surprems
They already know the motive as the suspect told them. They're just keeping it secret.
Should be on scaffold for looks alone. Immigration status?
Rockford is a hole.
It’s getting harder and harder to argue that statement. I’ve lived here all my life and it’s never been as bad as it is now. Just last Sunday an 18 year old worker at one of the local Walmarts was stabbed inside the store and died. They caught that guy too, but what the hell is going on?
I have a CCL and do carry, and will certainly continue to do so.
Where my wife and I live now is relatively safe, safer than where we used to live.
Two months ago there was a gun battle across the street from my brother’s house. No one was hurt, but his big picture window has a bullet hole in it, along with one in the opposite wall in his living room. He was laying on his couch when it happened, and lucky for him he wasn’t walking through the room. That round was right at head level.
Bad times….

Wouldn’t 88 miles Northeast of Chicago be smack dab in the middle of Lake Michigan?
NE of Chicago would put the neighborhood in Lake Michigan.
Looks Hispanic to me.
and of course they identified him as “white” when he’s clearly hispanic, I want to know his immigration status
Democrats saddened no guns were used in the attacks, however, they are now preparing legislation to ban all knives over one inch with special circumstances penalties for assault box cutters.
I loved the CherryVale Mall.
I always visited the Orange Julius, there.
Rockford was a place I enjoyed visiting.
I have to ask, is he a convert to Islam?
Rockford is another American industrial city that was deliberately destroyed by both political parties. Cheap imported threaded fasteners absolutely devastated the city that was once known as “the screw capital of the world”.

Someone should tell Bill Hutchinson and Leah Sarnoff that Rockford IL is about 88 miles northWEST of Chicago. A point 88 miles northEAST of Chicago would be in Lake Michigan.
Looks like he could be related to Sotomyhore.
Yes, the Islamic question. Let’s have all the details about this monster and his history.
God grant eternal rest to the victims...
I remember Orange Julius! Those were tasty. We used to go to Cherryvale Mall quite a bit. It’s not the same anymore. For me, the only store worth going to anymore is Borders Books. JC Pennys is the only big box store still there.
They still have Cinnabons there, I think.
There are kiosks all over, it’s hard to move around in there when it’s crowded.
