BELGIAN DAY CARE STABBINGS

Dendermonde, Belgium – A young man with a gruesomely painted black-and-white face went on a rampage at a Belgian day care center, stabbing two babies and a female worker to death and seriously wounding 12 others. ... Shocked rescue workers spoke of finding crying, bleeding toddlers scattered inside the center. All the kids had multiple stab wounds on their legs, arms, and all over their bodies," said Dr. Ignace Demeyer, head of emergency services. ... The 20-year-old attacker rode his bike up to the day care center about 10 a.m., found it UNLOCKED and went in. "After he entered he started slashing at everyone he ran into – the day care workers, the children," Prosecutor Christian Du Four said. In the mayhem that ensued, the attacker simply walked out and got back on his bicycle before being arrested shortly afterward. ... The attacker was a local man with a history of mental illness. Residents were flabbergasted, "It's something you hear about from America, not here," said a bakeshop owner.
