Airbnb releases statement on quadruple stabbing in Madison County

GREENVILLE, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - A quadruple stabbing in Madison County left people in one small mountain community shocked and with a lot of questions. Early Monday morning, the Sheriff’s Office responded to an Airbnb rental that now has the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigations involved.

One resident, who didn’t want to be identified, described the Town of Marshall as a quiet place that over the last few years has seen an influx of new people and tourists.

“There’s new people moving here every day, so you never know what’s moved here,” she said. “You never know whose moved here.”

So she calls the stabbing of four people unsettling.

“It’s scary,” she said.

According to the Madison County Sheriff’s Department at 3:21 a.m. they responded to a home at 183 Gid Flynn Road in Marshall in reference to a stabbing involving multiple individuals. Four people received medical treatment for multiple stab wounds and it’s being considered an isolated incident.
