Professor Slain by Saudi Grad Student

A former University of Chicago professor:
Dr. Richard Antoun of Binghamton University, a retired professor of anthropology with a specialty in comparative religions allegedly was stabbed four times in the chest by a Saudi national, Abdulsalam Al-Zahrani, a cultural-anthropology grad student.

Professor Antoun was a peace activist, and a convert to Judaism, and was known on campus as "a really nice guy."
What to make of this? What do you think.
