An attacker stabbed multiple people at a suburban Portland shopping centre Wednesday, killing one person and wounding others before being apprehended, the authorities said.
Police in the city of Beaverton said that at least one person was stabbed inside a Wells Fargo bank and that multiple people were taken to hospitals.
After the stabbings, the assailant stole a car and drove into the suburb of Tigard, where he was caught, police said.
The Washington County Major Crimes Team was responding.
Noushin Luluvachi from nearby Bella Salon told The Oregonian/Oregon Live that police cars flooded the plaza and authorities ordered businesses to keep their doors closed.
The bank and salon are part of a shopping centre that also includes a credit union, Planet Fitness, Safeway and Starbucks, among other businesses. Beaverton is known for being Nike's headquarters.
