A man who was recently asked to leave a Boise apartment complex is suspected of going on a stabbing rampage there that injured nine people, including six children, police said Sunday. Four of the victims have life-threatening injuries.
Timmy Kinner, 30, is facing nine counts of aggravated battery and six counts of injury to a child.
Police say that he targeted a three-year-old girl's birthday party.
Police Chief William Bones said Sunday that the birthday girl was among the injured, as were five other children aged four to 12. Three adults who tried to save the children were also hurt. Bones said all are alive, although some are gravely injured.
The Boise Police Department said they believe Kinner, from Los Angeles, was a temporary resident of the apartment complex but had been asked to leave on Friday. The complex houses many resettled refugee families, but Kinner is not a refugee. Police said they do not yet have an exact motive for the attack.
