    Mass Stabbing at Salem Homeless Shelter Leaves 11 Injured

    Authorities confirm the incident took place in close proximity to police headquarters

    In a shocking incident that has rattled the Salem community, eleven individuals were stabbed at the Union Gospel Mission’s homeless shelter on Sunday evening. The attack occurred around 7:15 p.m. at the facility, which is located directly across the street from the Salem Police Department.

    Victims Rushed to Hospital

    Among the injured are at least one staff member from the shelter. Emergency services swiftly transported the wounded to a local hospital, where they are being treated for “varying types of injuries,” according to police reports.

    Details of the Attack

    The suspect, who has been taken into custody, reportedly arrived at the shelter the previous night and was preparing to check in for a second evening when the violent episode unfolded. According to Union Gospel Mission’s Executive Director Craig Smith, an altercation erupted just as the suspect was expected to surrender his personal belongings to the staff. "Something … set him off, and he evidently had a knife in his bag," Smith indicated in an interview with NBC News.

    Smith also noted that the entire incident was captured on surveillance footage, which has since been shared with local law enforcement.

    Investigation Underway

    Authorities are currently investigating the attack, with police spokesperson Angela Hedrick commenting, “This is a very fresh incident, and detectives are gathering the facts.” At this point, details regarding the suspect, including identity and potential charges, have yet to be released. Social media posts have shown video clips of the suspect being apprehended by police lying on the ground shortly after the stabbing.

    Community Impact and Background

    The Union Gospel Mission, founded in 1952 by local Christian businessmen, aims to support the homeless population in Salem. The recently opened Men’s Mission facility, where the assault occurred, started operations in 2021, serving up to 150 individuals.

    As investigations progress, the Salem community is left grappling with the aftermath of this unprecedented act of violence in a place typically associated with sanctuary and support.

    Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
