TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) A knife-wielding man broke into Topeka’s WIBW-TV news station and stabbed two sales employees.
WIBW-TV (http://bit.ly/MnNXEV) reports the suspect got into the station Wednesday morning. He was eventually tackled and held down by eight employees until police arrived. The suspect and the two men he is accused of stabbing were taken to a hospital for treatment.
None of their injuries were considered serious.
The station reported that the man spoke to the news director on a lobby phone, saying the Department of Veterans Affairs was mishandling his case. When the news director explained that the man needed to discuss the issue with the VA, the man threw a lamp through the glass front doors.
The station said the man then ran through the halls. Calls to the station weren’t immediately returned.
