According to multiple sources, a Beloit man is facing charges after fatally stabbing a man and injuring another, who happens to also be from our area, at a rest stop in Sandusky County, Ohio.
The stabbing incident happened along the Ohio Turnpike. 51-year-old Thomas C Conner of Beloit is charged with first degree murder when he fatally stabbed a 66-year-old Indiana man and injured a 53-year-old man, Alan Austin from Delavan around 5:30 PM Tuesday.

Multiple agencies are investigating separately the stabbing and officer-involved shooting.
