The victims of the "worst mass murder in Calgary history" were all "good kids" described as innocent victims of a knife-wielding madman.
The five students were identified as Joshua Hunter, Kaitlin Perras, Jordan Segura, Lawrence Hong and Zackariah Rathwell, according to CBC News. They were attacked at an off-campus house party Tuesday and stabbed to death while celebrating the last day of class at the University of Calgary.
The reason behind the bloody attack remains unclear.
"It was not caused by the actions of anyone at the party," Calgary Chief of Police Rick Hanson said, CBC News reported.

Police arrested a 22-year-old student, Matthew de Grood, who is suspected of stabbing the five students during his rampage early Tuesday. He has been charged with five counts of first-degree murder.
Hanson says de Grood is the son of a 33-year veteran of the Calgary police force.
The father is “devastated” and “heartbroken” over the actions of his son, Hanson told reporters.
Investigators have not discovered a motive surrounding the brutal slaying, but all of the victims were innocent in the attack, Hanson said.
Each of the victims, except Rathwell, were students of University of Calgary and residents of the Alberta city.
Rathwell and Hunter were in a four-person Calgary band called Zackariah and the Prophets. Rathwell played the guitar and sang. Hunter was a drummer. The band had a party Saturday for its debut album.
“We didn’t lose two bandmates, we lost two brothers,” another member wrote on the group's Facebook page.

The attack was reported at about 1:20 a.m. at 11 Butler Crescent N.W.
The party was nicknamed “Bermuda Shorts Day” to celebrate the last day of classes. The attendees were barbecuing in the backyard, according to neighbors.
The suspect was invited to the party. He wrapped up a shift at a local grocery store and when he arrived, he grabbed a large knife and stabbed the victims several times.
Three of the victims were dead by the time police arrived.
Perras, 23, was found critically injured inside the home, but died at the hospital.
A police K-9 unit tracked and found de Grood after the murders. The dog bit him while he was being taken into police custody.

"how is this possible with a knife?"

"Why didn't they run?"

"I would've thrown a beer pong table at him"

RIP.
 
At a college party and none of those alpha males tried to impress the yambs by karate chopping dude?


In all seriousness, fight or flight. Most people were probably either too drunk or confused as to whats going on. Parties are hard enough to get around with all the people standing around, I could only imagine how hard it would be to try and run away with people panicking and running around confused.

^ I was trying to remember the name of that asian dude. That was the first thing that came to mind.

And also a number of Canadian serial killers. Including a prolific one from calgary and surrounding areas.
 
It's clear what we have to do, we need to register these knives, everyone can get one and there is no background check, trade shows, random shops...hell some grocery stores sell them.

When will people learn, the only way to stop knife attacks is by having everyone with a knife registered. That'll end violence, doesn't matter that crazy folk will find anyway to harm people, doesn't matter that were slowly giving up our freedom, doesn't matter that the majority of knife owners are lawful people who use knives for legitimate reasons...the only way to end these violent attacks is registration...otherwise people are going to keep getting killed in these knife attacks on North American soil.
