ROCHESTER, Minn. (AP) - Police have arrested a man in the fatal stabbings of two men at a Salvation Army apartment building in Minnesota.
The stabbings were reported around 7:15 p.m. Saturday at a building in Rochester. Officers found two men on the fourth floor of the building "suffering from critical stab wounds." They were pronounced dead at a hospital.
An officer found a man trying to leave the building from a rear stairway. The man, believed to be the only suspect, was arrested and remains in custody.
The names of the victims weren't released. Police also didn't release a possible motive.
