A person in Illinois who was witnessing a stabbing verbally threatened the assailant with an AR-15-style rifle and ultimately stopped the attack, officials said.
Deputies on Monday responded to an argument between neighbors in Oswego Township, the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office said.
A witness who saw the attack — in which someone stabbed another person “multiple times” during an argument — went home, grabbed their rifle and was able to stop the attack “with only a threat of force.”
The witness who pulled out the firearm has a concealed carry permit and also possessed a Firearms Owners’ Identification Card, authorities said.

The stabbing victim was taken to a hospital in Aurora, the sheriff’s office said. Their condition remains unclear.
Officials said the incident is under investigation.
