According to police, the man proceeded past the ticket counter without paying and entered one of the theaters. Police said he encountered four young females inside one of the theaters.

"Without saying anything and without any warning, he suddenly attacked and stabbed the four young females," police said. "The attack appeared to be unprovoked. After the attack, the man ran out of the theater and left in a vehicle.

Police said the young women all sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to Boston area hospitals for treatment.

A source told NewsCenter 5 that one of the victims suffered a serious arm laceration, but it appears all four are expected to survive their injuries.

1. I'm so relieved everyone involved in this psychotic attack if going to be fine

Physically at least. Best of luck for all of them. This perp though? I hope he's in jail for MANY DECADES!!! Sounds like he's got more crimes he's being linked to.

2. No reason to allow knives in a movie theater. I know he snuck in, but that's not cool either.

I think AMC will be paying some money to each of the girls.

5. Why would AMC pay?

Some guy goes into a theater and immediately begins stabbing the first people he encounters. How is AMC at fault?

[jimfields33]

6. Clearly lax security.

7. Clear as mud.

What is a movie theater supposed to do? Have a phlanx of cops surrounding the theater?

[jimfields33]

8. At least ensure nobody sneaks in.

[former9thward]

9. He did not sneak in.

He burst in. No one can stop that.

12. Wait!

What if the armed teachers from schools kept guard? They likely need second jobs.

10. How does one going about accomplishing the absolute prevention of someone skeanking in?

The practical level aready exists. What specifically are they not doing now that would have prevented this in any and every case (which is what 'ensuring noboby sneaks in' taken at face values equates to)?


lol

11. How about not having a huge open space around the ticket taker.

Obviously nobody cares enough to do simple changes. I guess we’ll just live with it.

3. To the "Why don't we ban knives then?" crowd:

Number of deaths: Zero.

Not even the attacker, who didn’t have the means to take the easy way out rather than get caught and arrested.

13. Exactly.

That is such a moronic argument.

4. Just horrifying. I'm glad he's been arrested.
