Students who were in the class at the University of Waterloo said the assailant entered the classroom and started attacking people after speaking with the professor.
A professor and two students were stabbed Wednesday during a class on gender issues at a Canadian university, and a suspect has been taken into custody, police said.
Kaymak said about 40 students were in the class at the time. Another student, Jimmy Li, told CTV the attacker had"two very big knives." "There is no further threat to public safety either on campus or outside in the broader community at this time," Waterloo Regional Police Service Superintendent Shaena Morris said at a news conference.
Manning said the stabbing occurred in Philosophy 202, which, according to the university website, focuses on"gender issues."
