Four people were killed and five others were wounded in and near Rockford, Illinois, Tuesday in what the city’s mayor called a “random and senseless act of violence.” Some of the victims, including a woman who fled a home invasion in Winnebago County and a man who tried to help her, were stabbed, officials said.

She was taken to a hospital with serious injuries and has been intubated, he said. A man who intervened to help her suffered stab wounds, but 'he’s fine' and being evaluated, Caruana said. A sheriff's deputy took the suspect, who has not been identified, into custody, Caruana said. One of the victims was a mail carrier, Caruana said, without providing further details.
