Entertaining Me Weekly Over The Years

By Dorsey Rohweder 2 months ago

The suspect is a sixty-year-old man whose membership had been rescinded due to two recent instances of disorderly conduct “in recent days.” After being turned away from the museum around 4:15 p.m., the man “jumped over the reception desk and proceeded to attack and stab two employees of the museum multiple times,” said John Miller, the deputy commissioner for the Police Department’s Intelligence and Counterterrorism Bureaus. The victims, who suffered neck, clavicle, and back injuries, were “going to be okay,” Miller said.
