The person suffering from the chest wounds is said to be in critical condition while the other stabbing victims suffered minor injuries.

Fox 5 Vegas said that Palomares fled the scene after the stabbing and he then allegedly called one of the victims on their cellphones.

Since he knew the cellphone number, it appears that he stabbed at least one of his coworkers. The person that he called handed the phone to a Metro Police Officer present and Palomares agreed to turn himself in.

He also left a trail of blood, and ditched the knife but police recovered the weapon.

He was apprehended in the vicinity of Third Street and Lewis Avenue which ironically is near the courthouse.

Palomares is saying that he does not remember anything and only remembers waking up at University Medical Center (UMC)

Palomares has been charged with 3 counts of Battery with a Deadly Weapon with bond set at $60,000.
