David Schmid, associate professor of English, was interviewed for an article distributed by the Associated Press about a Brooklyn man who went on a 28-hour stabbing rampage that led to the deaths of four people, and a number of injuries. While Americans have become increasingly familiar with certain types of multiple killings, "here you have someone who kind of can't be neatly slotted into one of those narratives," he said. The article appeared in hundreds of news outlets that include CBS News, Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post, Metro Canada Toronto and the Albany Times Union.
