Four people were stabbed Wednesday on the campus of UC Merced.
The attacker was shot dead with a gun.
The suspect was named on Thursday morning — FAISAL MOHAMMAD was a freshman on campus.
He was carrying an 8-10 inch knife.
Faisal Mohammad was wearing “all black” during the attack on campus.

Now this…
ISIS praised 18 year-old stabber Faisal Mohammad after his attack.
FOX News reported:
Mohammad, who was killed by campus police, was described by at least one witness as smiling as he slashed at victims, called a loner by a fellow dorm resident and drew praise Thursday from a Twitter account associated with ISIS, which just last week released a series of videos calling for lone wolf stabbing attacks.
“May Allah accept him,” read a tweet in Arabic from a Twitter account that terrorism experts say has carried previous ISIS propaganda, just minutes after Mohammad’s name was divulged by campus authorities.
