Here are some additional details in regards to the UC Merced stabbing.
The stabbing happened during an 8 a.m. class in the Classroom and Office Building. Sheriff Warnke said the suspect attacked another student with a fixed-blade knife. It is unknown why the suspect attacked the other student.
The noise from the attack drew Byron Price to the classroom. Warnke said because the contract employee walked into the class during the attack, he helped save the student's life.
The suspect stabbed Byron Price, ran from the classroom on the second floor and down the stairs. He then encountered another student, stabbed the person and ran out of the building.
Warnke said the suspect ran across the street and came upon a faculty member. The suspect stabbed her in the back and front then continued to run.
UC Merced campus police then confronted the suspect. Officers shot and killed the suspect when he continued to threaten the police.
The bomb squad was called to the scene because the suspect was carrying a backpack with unknown contents, Warnke said.
The campus was locked down as officers worked to contain the situation.
