Attacker shot dead after killing two in Massachusetts

AFP, NEW YORK: An assailant stabbed at least six people, killing two, Tuesday at a home and a shopping mall in the US state of Massachusetts before an off-duty sheriff shot the suspect to death, police said.
The violence began after the suspect, identified as Arthur DaRosa, 28, crashed his car into a truck around 7:00 pm (2300 GMT) in Taunton, south of Boston, around 4 miles (6 kilometers) from the mall, Bristol District Attorney Thomas Quinn III told reporters.
Entering a house, DaRosa stabbed two people, including an 80-year-old woman who died and her adult daughter who was under treatment for life-threatening injuries in the hospital, Quinn said without identifying the women.
DaRosa, of Taunton, then drove a car into the glass entrance at a Macy’s department store at the city’s Silver City Galleria, Massachusetts State Police said.
