Michigan Airport Stabbing: Officer Attacked in Possible Terror Incident

An officer for Bishop International Airport in Flint, Michigan, was stabbed Wednesday in what local, state and federal law enforcement authorities were investigating as a terrorist act, NBC News reported.

In a statement released by the FBI, officials said it is still too early to determine what motivated the attack, but that they were questioning the suspect.

The attacker allegedly shouted "Allahu akbar" before stabbing Lt. Jeff Neville, who was bleeding from the neck, sources and witnesses at Bishop International Airport said.

Neville, a father of two who has worked at the airport since approximately 2000, is a member of the airport's Department of Public Safety and a retired Genesee County Sheriff’s Department lieutenant.
