One person was killed and four wounded when a man began stabbing people in a Texas hospital, Tuesday morning.
It happened at the Good Shepherd Ambulatory Surgical Center in Longview.
Witnesses say that a man suddenly went berserk, screamed
that he wouldn't let them kill his mother, pulled a hunting knife, and
began stabbing people.
He managed to stab five people before security was able to bring him down.
A twenty-two year old suspect is under arrest one count of murder and four of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
The fatality was a nurse, who protected patients by jumping between them and the man.
One of the other victims is in critical condition, another in good condition, and the other two were treated and released.
Officials are unsure what actually led to the attack.

China Once Again Tries to Claim Japan's Senkaku Islands
On Saturday, China once again made an illegal attempt to claim the Senkaku Islands, as theirs.
They announced a new East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone, along their possessions in the area, but went further and also placed it over Japan's Senkaku Islands.
Any aircraft which fly into the zone, must receive clearance from China, however the islands are Japanese airspace.
This could easily lead to conflicting air paths and directions.
Japan quickly protested the new zone, calling it "totally unacceptable".
China has made multiple attempts to claim the islands for their self, all of which have been rebuffed politically by Japan.
The islands are also claimed by South Korea and Taiwan, however Japan does have proof of ownership, which they gained by buying them from the private owners, who were Japanese citizens.
