Commissioner Sobieraj reported that preliminary police findings showed that a 19-year-old man, who is not a resident of the facility, attacked a teacher and other residents with a knife.
Thirteen people were in the orphanage, with 10 of those wounded, with five transported to the hospital in non-life threatening condition. Those children who were not injured have been taken to another facility.
