Four people were found dead and seven others were injured in a stabbing rampage across multiple areas in Rockford, Illinois, on Wednesday afternoon, police say, and a suspect is in custody.

A 15-year-old girl, a 63-year-old woman, a 49-year-old man, and a 22-year-old man were killed in the incident and five others who were injured were transported to local hospitals with “serious injuries,” the Rockford Police Department said in a news release Wednesday evening.

Five people were injured in the city of Rockford and two people were injured in the jurisdiction of Winnebago County, Rockford police spokesperson Michelle Marcomb told CNN.

    Just saying, the human body is tough as long as certain things aren’t damaged and medical science WILL keep you alive from trauma if you can get to a hospital quick enough.

    The danger of guns isn’t that bullets are more “damaging” then blades.

    It’s that they can penetrate the skull and sternum easier and they can do it from a distance. Knives have their own advantages but they’re just not comparable in that regard.
