After mall stabbing, a show of unity in St. Cloud

ST. CLOUD – In a city torn by violence, hundreds of people came together Tuesday night in a show of unity.

It’s been three days since 20-year-old Dahir Adan turned the Crossroads mall into a scene of bloodshed and terror. For the students who sat in class with him at St. Cloud State University, the terror and grief linger.

“In recent nights, there have been nights when I wake up crying,” third-year student Barwaaqo Dirir told a crowd of hundreds gathered on campus. She knew Adan. Or thought she did. “My heart is heavy with a desperate need to pray for everyone. There are too many hurting and broken people.”
