One person was killed and three others were hurt in a stabbing at a shopping center near Portland, Oregon, Wednesday, according to authorities.

The suspect stole a car before being apprehended, Beaverton police said.

There "is no longer danger to the public," said police.

"He looked like a normal person. But after I saw his bloody hand I knew something wasn’t right and I was like, yeah, I’m not taking him anywhere," the witness said. "And he gets out ... takes off."

The woman who was killed was at a Wells Fargo bank at the shopping center.

The suspect is a 20-year-old man, according to Beaverton Police Department.
