A 17-year-old boy was killed and four other people were wounded when a man stabbed them Saturday as the group was tubing down the Apple River, a Wisconsin sheriff said.
The 52-year-old suspect is from nearby Minnesota, as was the victim who died, St. Croix County Sheriff Scott Knudson told reporters, including NBC affiliate KARE of Minneapolis, at a news conference Saturday. Neither was identified Saturday.
The four survivors were described only as one woman and three men, all in their 20s. At least three of the victims were hospitalized in critical condition, while a fourth was described as "walking wounded," Knudson said.
Investigators haven't pinpointed motive for the attack. Knudson said the suspect and victims were in different groups of people simultaneously tubing down the river when incident happened around 3:45 p.m. Saturday in Somerset, Wisconsin.
"Everybody was tubing," the sheriff said.
