The alleged attacker, an as-yet unidentified 30-year-old man of Asian descent from northern Virginia who had been living for a week at the Anna Prayer Mountain Church in Frederick, called police to turn himself in, Frederick County Sheriff Chuck Jenkins told WUSA-TV.
Police arrested him moments later, WJZ-TV reported. “There is no immediate threat to the community related to the stabbing,” the sheriff’s office Tweeted after he surrendered.

The victims had been worshipping at the prayer and retreat center in the hills roughly 40 miles northwest of Washington, D.C., when the suspect allegedly stabbed them, according to WJZ.

A Korean Christian prayer service in Frederick, Md., turned into a "very bloody, very gruesome" scene Sunday night when a suspect allegedly stabbed worshippers at the Anna Prayer Mountain Church, police told local reporters.
The male victim died from his wounds at the scene on Peters Road, and his wife was in critical but stable condition in a hospital on Sunday night, the TV station reported. The sheriff’s office hasn’t yet identified the victims.
But investigators have hired a Korean language interpreter to help them as they interview witnesses about the circumstances that may have led to the fatal stabbing, Jenkins told WJZ.
“The scene was very bloody, very gruesome,” Jenkins said. “I wish I knew the motive. We don’t know at this point.”
