> A 49-year-old woman armed with two kitchen knives randomly stabbed a 68-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman in New York City’s Times Square on Monday. The woman died, while the man remained stable. Police said the attack was unprovoked and not terrorism-related, and shot the suspect after she refused to drop the knives and advanced toward officers.
