In a recent incident that shook the quiet town of Carver, Minnesota, a young store employee at Fleet Farm was the victim of a violent assault involving a stabbing. According to a social media post by the Carver County Sheriff's Office, the assault happened on November 24, at approximately 2:06 PM.
The response to the 9-1-1 call revealed that the victim, a 17-year-old female from Jordan, MN, suffered a stab wound to the neck.
