\nBOISE, Idaho \u2014 Idaho police say nine people were hospitalized early Sunday and one man is in custody after a mass stabbing at a Boise apartment complex that is home to many refugee families.
Boise Police Chief Bill Bones said all nine were taken to area hospitals, some with life-threatening injuries.
\u201cAt this point we haven\u2019t lost anybody, but as I said the injuries are very serious,\u201d Bones said.
The police did not yet have a suspected motive for the Saturday night attack but said a 30-year-old man was in custody.
\u201cIt\u2019s a single evil individual who attacked,\u201d Bones said. \u201cNo provocation that we are aware of.\u201d
Bones said the attack resulted in the most victims in a single incident in Boise Police Department history. \u201cAs you can imagine, the Wylie Street Apartment and our community is reeling from this attack,\u201d he said.
Police received a report of a stabbing at 8:46 p.m., and responded to the apartment complex within four minutes, Bone said. They found victims in the parking lot and inside the apartment complex. Witnesses reported that the suspect had fled, and police arrested the 30-year-old man a short distance away.
Investigators said they did not yet know if the suspect was connected to the victims in any way.
Police did not release the names or ages of the victims, but said their age ranges varied dramatically and \u201cit\u2019s affected all aspects of the families\u201d who live at the complex.
Investigators were searching a nearby canal and the crime scene late Saturday night. Bones said police believe the knife used in the stabbing was discarded by the suspect prior to his arrest.<\/p>\n
