Two men killed in Oregon train stabbings that follow anti-Muslim rant

A man fatally stabbed two passengers aboard a Portland, Oregon, commuter train after they tried to stop him from harassing a pair of apparent Muslim women, police said on Saturday. The assailant was identified by police as Jeremy Joseph Christian of Portland, a 35-year-old convicted felon. It began when Christian started shouting ethnic and religious slurs, apparently directing them at two young women on the train, one of whom wore a Muslim head covering, the Portland Police Department said in a statement.
