NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — The Navy says a sailor suspected of repeatedly stabbing another in a barracks near a naval hospital was able to leave the base before its gates were closed in response to the attack.
The Navy says Petty Officer 2nd Class Justin Powell was stabbed by Petty Officer 3rd Class Wilbur Harwell near Naval Medical Center Portsmouth last Friday. The installation was locked down minutes after authorities were made aware of the stabbing.
