358.0. ""Slashing at WDW!"" by PHDVAX::RICCIO (A beautiful bunch of ripe banana) Tue Aug 17 1993 13:38

    
    
      I was thumbing through USA Today yesterday at lunch. As always I
    looked through the page that has brief little "blurbs" on each of the
    states. Under Florida was the following;
    
                Florida- Lake Buena Vista, Authorities said they
                found a knife case but not the weapon or the women
                who Friday slashed two men waiting for a trim to
                the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World parking lot.
    
     
      That was the whole thing. I was wondering, has anyone heard about
    this? Are there anymore details?

>>> who Friday slashed two men waiting for a trim to
                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Are you sure this didn't happen at the barber shop and not in the parking lot??? 
;-) ;-) ;-)  (Sorry, I just couldn't resist...)

Seriously, I heard the story too, and the latest was that the woman ran into
some woods and the authorities had surrounded the area.  Apparently she didn't
know either man and no one knew at the time why she would do something like this.

    hi 
    Sorry about the try before!!
    
    I am due in Orlando on the 9th September and I must admit I am a little
    concerned regarding your information!  Is this a regular event??
    
    This is my first trip back since 1984, can anyone suggest where the
    best place is to start ie disney, sea world etc?
    
    many thanks

    By no means are events like the "regular" at WDW. That's why they do
    hit the national press so fast.  When did you ever see news about
    knifings at Six Flags/Great Adventure?  I know personally that they are
    regular events at that park, that's why I don't go there even though I
    live within 1 hour of the place.
    
    Relax, enjoy.  WDW is safe, just use common sense.

358.6Any news?PHDVAX::RICCIORespect All... Fear None!Tue Aug 24 1993 03:008
    
    
    
         Any word on this "situation"? I haven't seen or heard anything
    since the USA Today "blurb". Did they find the women, any motive?

    talked to my mother and father about this(they live in the general
    area).  According to their local paper and TV news only one male was
    injured.  Was slashed in the neck, but not too serious, was treated and
    released.  WDW security officials quickly apprehended her.  The TV news
    story reported that witnesses heard her yell something out about "you
    shouldn't be looking at me like that" and then slashed out at him.
    
    Maybe it was Loni Anderson getting back at Burt Reynolds (;-)
    
    I've got last Sunday's Orlando Sentinal at home... I subscribe... WDW
    always has job postings....  I'll check to see if I can find the
    article.

    I was down there the day this happened. According to the news there
    some woman was upset for some man looking at her  and  stabbed him.
    Another guy stepped in to help  and  he was stabbed also.  No major
    life threatening injuries.  They never did find the woman and after
    a couple days the story died down.
