Archived: Suspect Shot In Mall Stabbing Was A Security Guard
ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) – The man who was fatally shot by an off-duty officer after stabbing ten people at Crossroads Mall in St. Cloud this weekend had worked as a security guard for one of the stores.
Electrolux Home Products’ spokeswoman Eloise Hale said Monday that the man was an employee of the security firm Securitas and was assigned for a few months to an Electrolux facility. That assignment ended in June.
Officials said the man, whom his father has identified as 22-year-old Dahir Adan, was dressed as a security guard when he stabbed people Saturday.
The city’s police chief said the man reportedly made at least one reference to Allah and asked a victim if he or she was Muslim before attacking. It isn’t clear whether Adan was radicalized.
All of those who were injured have been released from a hospital.
