Four stabbed at Albuquerque church

Four people were stabbed this morning at St. Jude Thaddeus Parish in Northwest Albuquerque, police said.

Two of the four were critically injured, according to an emailed statement from APD spokesman Rob Gibbs, and all are expected to survive.

The church service was closing, Gibbs wrote, and the choir was beginning closing hymns when a man jumped over several pews, walked quickly to the front of the church and began stabbing choir members.

The alleged stabber is in custody, according to Gibbs. He has not been identified, and police do not believe he was a parishioner at the church. It is unclear whether he has been arrested or charged.
