Multiple people were stabbed Wednesday morning at a business in Tallahassee, Florida, police said.
The stabbing occurred at Dyke Industries, wholesale building material supplier, which is about four miles from Florida State University, according to CNN. The suspect is in custody and five people are in the hospital following the attack. It is not yet known if the suspect is or was an employee at the business.
Police arrived on scene Wednesday morning and found “multiple stabbing victims and provided immediate medical attention,” NBC News reported. One patient is in serious condition, CNN reported.
The hospital first reported that six people had been stabbed, but corrected the number in a recent statement.
“Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare received five patients from the incident, not six as initially reported. One patient is in serious condition; two patients are in fair condition; and two patients are in good condition,” CNN reported according to a statement from the hospital.
