A male student at University of California, Merced, stabbed four people on campus as classes began Wednesday morning and was later fatally shot by campus police, a school spokesman said.

is pretty much the length of your arm, unless you know how to throw one, which few people do, then it's maybe 10 feet. Even then it's slow motion compared to pulling a trigger.
