I was studying in the same library this afternoon. I didn't know about this, but I was there starting at 12:30 and when I left I noticed blood on the stairs- I thought someone had had a nosebleed or something. Which means the guy was stabbed while I was in the library, I guess one floor below.
Certainly it must have been targeted, three guys walk in, stab him, and walk out. It just seems strange. Granted Edmonton is a somewhat big place (about 750,000 and around 1,000,000 in the greater area) and such things aren't unheard of, but it still seems surrealistic. Perhaps since it was in a acedemic setting- it wouldn't seem so out of place to happen in the parking lot outside of a bar, but I thought being in a library studying precluded the possibility of violent crime.
