Opening Activity 9.22.11

A Minneapolis man who's name has still not been released died days after being stabbed on Central Avenue. Officers found the man at 12:30am after they responded to a report about the man and he was then taken to the Hennepin county medical center. A 39 year old man was arrested for the crime, there was a 16 year old boy that was said to be injured also and there were up to 7 witness' at the scene of the crime.

It scares me that things like this can happen so close to home, it just shows you what people can do. I think its sad that the man didn't die right away he died days later at the hospital because his wounds were to grave. I just don't understand how someone could kill another person its beyond me. The murderer also did it in front of 7 people so he must have been specifically aiming for that one man other wise there was honestly no point.
