Suspect, 2 Victims Dead after Stabbing Spree In Taunton, Massachusetts

TEHRAN (Tasnim) - An off-duty officer shot and killed a man who allegedly stabbed two people to death during a rampage at two locations in Taunton city in Massachusetts Tuesday night.

Police responded to the Silver City Galleria shopping mall just before 7:00 pm on Tuesday after the suspect, identified as 28-year-old Arthur DaRosa, crashed a black Honda Accord into the entrance of a Macy’s store.

“We saw the car just like dove right in,” a woman said. “It honestly happened like the fastest thing.”

Moments later, police say DaRosa exited his car, assaulted multiple people inside Macy’s, and then walked into a Bertucci’s restaurant inside the mall. Inside the restaurant, DaRosa allegedly stabbed multiple people including a 56-year-old man who died. DaRosa was shot and killed by an off-duty Plymouth County sheriff’s deputy inside the mall, CBS News reported.

One of the victims who was attacked at the mall was a pregnant woman, a witness said.
