Stabbings at Tallahassee Door Company Leave Several Injured
Officers responded early Wednesday to a call at Dyke Industries, a door manufacturer, the police said.
Several people were stabbed in an attack at a manufacturing company in Tallahassee on Wednesday morning, the police said.
The Tallahassee Police Department said that officers responded to a call from Dyke Industries, which manufactures doors, around 8:37 a.m. Multiple people had been stabbed, the police said. The suspect was taken into custody.
A local hospital, Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, said it had received five patients after the episode. One patient was in serious condition and the rest were in good or fair condition, the spokeswoman said.
A local television station, ABC 27, reported that witnesses said the suspect was an employee who had been fired. Another employee fought him off during the attack, the station reported.
The company’s site says it runs 15 distribution outlets serving the Southeast, providing wood, steel and fiberglass doors and other items, and is the corporate successor to two millwork manufacturing companies that date to 1866. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Shortly after the attack, some news outlets erroneously reported that the stabbing had taken place at a Coca-Cola bottling plant next door to the company.
Linda Sewell, a spokeswoman for Coca-Cola Bottling Company United, said that no Coca-Cola employees were involved, and operations at the plant were continuing as normal.
