The Cross Roads Mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota, was shut down Sunday when an assailant made reference to Allah while stabbing four shoppers before being shot dead by an off-duty policeman.
Police said the suspect, armed with a knife, entered the mall about 8 p.m. Saturday.
“That individual made some references to Allah and we confirmed that he asked at least one person if they were Muslim before assaulting them,” said St. Cloud Police Chief Blair Anderson.
