A Minnesota man allegedly attacked his friends during a get-together, killing two and sending a third to the hospital, before taking his own life.

Officers in the city of Roseville identified the suspect as Meng Vang, 32. He was the resident of the apartment on the 1600 block of Eldridge Avenue where the tragedy happened Saturday.

Although there were reportedly no indications of any conflict, things somehow took a turn for the worse. At some point, Vang allegedly stabbed John Thao, 32, to death, and stabbed and shot Fong Vang, 32. He also cut the throat of a third friend, Nou Xiong, 33, but that man survived with a life-threatening laceration, according to cops.
