'Evil' LA Man Held In Stabbing Rampage At Child's Birthday Party

LOS ANGELES, CA — A Los Angeles man has been charged for allegedly stabbing nine people at a children's birthday party in Boise, Idaho Saturday.

Six of the victims were children between 3 and 12-years-old. Four of the victims were refugees from war-torn or famine-plagued regions including — Syria, Iraq and Ethiopia. They are fighting for their lives now after suffering life-threatening injuries in the stabbing rampage, according to Boise authorities. Timmy Kinner, 30, was arrested at the scene of the rampage, said Boise Police Chief William Bones said Sunday.

"It's a single evil individual who attacked people with no provocation that we are aware of," Bones said.

Kinner was charged with nine counts of aggravated battery and six counts of injury to a child, according to Bones.

Kinner, who is not a efugee, reportedly has an extensive criminal history in California. Police believe the motive for the attack appeared to be revenge for Kinner being kicked out of a Boise apartment complex.

Kinner had been asked on Friday to leave the premises of the apartment complex where he had been living temporarily, Bones told a media gathering.

"As you can imagine, the witnesses in the apartment complex, along with the rest of our community, are reeling from this attack," Bones said.

Kinner didn't put up a fight when police came for him. Responding officers arrived within minutes of the melee to find a "chaotic and tragic area in which nine members of our community had been stabbed and lay injured," Bones said. "People were scattered throughout the apartment complex."
