A heartless has been arrested and charged with first-
degree murder after he carried out a horrific mass
stabbing at a birthday party of a 3-year-old girl in
Boise, Idaho.
30-year-old Timmy Earl Kinner Jr of Los Angeles
stabbed nine people at the birthday party on Saturday,
including six children and three adults. Eight of the
victims survived, but the 3-year-old birthday girl Ruya
Kadir died, according to reports.
The attack reportedly took place at an apartment
complex which is home to many refugees.
According to police reports, Kinner who is not a
refugee temporarily lived at the complex until he was
asked to leave on Friday. He returned Saturday when
the girl was having her birthday party and started
attacking people.
Speaking on the unfortunate incident at a press
conference on Sunday, Boise Police Chief William
Bones, said: "Our victims are some of the newest
members of our community. They're victims of their
past homes who have fled violence from Syria, Iraq,
and Ethiopia. This was an attack against those who are
most vulnerable our children."
The suspect, Kinner who police describe as homeless
has an extensive criminal record with charges ranging
to reckless driving to sexual battery and gun and theft
charges among others.
Police said they are yet to identify the motive by the
horrific mass stabbing, but he has been charged with
nine counts of aggravated battery and six counts of
injury to a child and first-degree murder.
