Student Stabbing Sparks Safety Concerns | Kansas City News

A 20-year-old student was fatally stabbed near 7th Street and Massachusetts Avenue in Lawrence early Sunday morning — a chilling reminder as KU students return for the new semester. Police responded around 2:40 AM but haven’t identified a suspect yet, urging the public to come forward with any info. With bars staying open late and alcohol playing a role in recent violence, students are sounding alarms about safety — especially after last year’s shooting outside a popular bar. University officials and police are pushing for caution: stick to groups, avoid solo night outings, and report anything suspicious. The investigation is ongoing — and witnesses or businesses with cameras are key to solving this case. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
