A mass stabbing by a black male at an LA hospital started out as national news on social media and quickly disappeared. We leave it to you to figure out why.

THE STORY

A mass stabbing at Encino Hospital Medical Center on June 3 at about 3:50 pm left a doctor and two nurses critically wounded, CBS News reports.

The attacker was black and the weapon was a knife in what was a mass stabbing. The unnamed attacker was allegedly seeking some kind of treatment.

Some reports say the suspect barricaded himself inside a room after the stabbings and was in custody by 8:30 p.m. PT.  Other reports say staff locked him inside a room after he entered it.

Several outlets including NBC Los Angeles reported that the man was taken into custody just after 8 p.m. He was lead out of the hospital and placed into an ambulance and taken to a hospital in Sherman Oaks for treatment for self-inflicted wounds to his arms. Authorities have what they believe is the weapon – a 3 or 4 inch knife.
