Woman Accused of Stabbing Two

(Bloomington, Minnesota) A 35-year-old local woman, with a reputation of proselytizing for Islam by distributing Qurans outside the library, has been accused of stabbing two random people with a pen.

Samira Abdalla Salim was arrested on Wednesday at the Oxboro Library. According to Bloomington Police Commander Mark Stehlik,

The first victim was a woman who was walking into the library.

“The next thing she knew, she felt a sharp pain in the middle of her back and realized she had been stabbed,” said Stehlik.

The second was a security guard who heard the victim’s cry for help. He went to talk to Salim in the parking lot.

“Spoke to her briefly and then she actually stabbed him as well. Stabbed him in the abdomen,” said Stehlik.

Salim was booked into custody to face two counts of second-degree assault.
