SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Five people have been stabbed outside the California state Capitol building in Sacramento.
Officer Matt McPhail with the Sacramento Police Department says none of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening.
The victims were all present while a protest took place, though McPhail said it was still unclear whether and how they were involved.
The Traditionalist Workers Party had scheduled and received a permit to protest at noon Sunday in front of the Capitol. McPhail says a group of counter-protesters showed up to demonstrate against them.
The Southern Poverty Law Center has described TWP as a group formed in 2015 as the political wing of the Traditionalist Youth Network, which aims to “indoctrinate high school and college students into white nationalism.”

Knives vs guns. Five people go to the hospital . All expected to survive. Now tell me about gun control again?
This is a disgrace, are we living on some third world country or what ? Five stabbed, WTF? In freedom loving America news should read 5 shot dead, 16 injured.
If only everyone had been armed wit a knife – they could have stopped the attacks!
Perhaps the injuries occurred while cleaning the knives.
“nazi rally” turned violent today after counter-protesters showed up"
I love it when the “we the people” fight back against the haters!!
