Just had a mass stabbing in Ottawa by Mohamed Mohamed and Ali Abbari, too. I'm sure they're just rare bad apples.

Let’s not assume any motives just yet, although the police say the mass stabbing Sunday was not gang-related.

The subject in the first incident is described as a white male in his mid-20s and has yet to be apprehended. For once, though, the NRA looks to be in the clear, as the incidents didn’t involve guns and took place in Canada.
