Another tragic incident at a July 4th celebration in the US
Thursday's stabbing was not the only instance of Fourth of July celebrations being marred by violence.
In New York City, three people were killed, and several others were injured when a speeding pickup truck ran through an intersection and plowed into a crowd at Corlears Hook Park in Manhattan's Lower East Side neighborhood.
The driver has been identified and has been taken into custody, police say.
