Five people were killed and a suspect taken into custody after multiple stabbings at a house party attended by university students near the University of Calgary, the police chief said, calling it the worst mass murder in Calgary's history, AP reported. Police Chief Rick Hanson said the suspect is the son of a 33-year veteran of the Calgary police force and a student at the University of Calgary. "We have never seen five people killed at one scene," Hanson said. "The scene was horrific." Hanson said the suspect was invited to the party and shortly after arriving picked up a large knife and began stabbing the victims one by one early Tuesday morning. He said about 20 people were at the party when the stabbings occurred. Hanson said the victims ages range from 22 to 27. He said the dead were all "good kids" The police chief said they would not release the name of the suspect until first-degree murder charges are announced later Tuesday. He said the suspect left his work at a grocery store before arriving to the party. Police said three males were found dead at the home. A male and a female died at a local hospital. Police said the suspect, in his 20s, was arrested with the help of the police canine unit about 40 minutes after the stabbings and that he was taken to hospital for treatment for dog bites. -- SPA 23:26 LOCAL TIME 20:26 GMT تغريد
