Police confirmed that four people died from injuries, and five others were injured during the riot in and around Rockford, Illinois, on 1 February 2020, CNBC reported.
Expressing the incident as “a random and senseless act of violence,” Mayor Tom McNamara expressed deep anguish over the events that took place. Winnebago County Police Chief Carla Redd was stunned.
He couldn’t express what exactly he was feeling. A woman and a man were the victims who were stabbed during a home invasion in Winnebago County.
A criminal was quickly arrested and this ensures that there are no other individuals who may be involved in the incidents. While local and federal agencies continue to investigate the case, their efforts have so far failed to explain the reason behind the criminal’s behavior.
The dispatch center in Rockford received calls from many people reporting medical emergencies and home invasions, so the callers immediately realized the seriousness and urgency of the situation.
Winnebago County Sheriff Gary Caruana described the sequence of events where an intervention occurred and the woman was seriously injured, while a man who tried to help was also injured.
Beyond this, support programs for residents have also been announced to provide for their emotional and mental well-being following the terrible ordeal. The police investigation is ongoing and the Rockford community is dealing with the aftermath of this accident.
