The wounds were non-life threatening, police said, adding that the motive for the attack at the University of Waterloo was not immediately clear. The suspect was being questioned by investigators.
“There is no further threat to public safety either on campus or outside in the broader community at this time,” Waterloo Regional Police Service Supt. Shaena Morris said at a news conference.
Nick Manning, associate vice-president of communications for the University of Waterloo, identified the suspect as a member of “the university community” but declined to confirm the individual is a student. He said two students and a professor were stabbed. Manning said the stabbing occurred in Philosophy 202, which, according to the university website, focuses on “gender issues.”
“Our entire community is really concerned that this would happen here. It’s a big shock,” Manning told reporters. Yusuf Kaymak, a student at University of Waterloo, told CTV News the attack happened in a gender studies class.
