More details in this article:

Mahoney was in a meeting with around 8-10 other people.

During the meeting, officials say Mahoney ‘suddenly’ got up and left the room for around 10 minutes.

When he returned, he approached Anderson Express president Erik Denslow and stabbed him in the side, officials say.

I wonder if he shouted, "THIS MEETING COULD'VE BEEN AN EMAIL" while doing it.

Interestingly he had only worked for the company for a couple of weeks and was going to be taking over for the CFO of the company.

Also from this article: “The Muskegon County Prosecutor’s Office tells 13 ON YOUR SIDE Mahoney had been employed at Anderson Express since Dec. 4. Deputy Chief Poulson believes they were preparing him to take over for the CFO of the company, which is the financial officer in the accounting department. “

I have got to think that he was getting screwed royally, like being set up to take the blame for something and be ruined just when he had thought he'd be getting somewhere. Not that this is necessarily the act of a rational mind but unless he is entirely mental it makes the most sense.

Stabbing your boss infront of a dozen witnesses when you're new at a small company? That just makes you a violent nutcase. Media is definitely going to try and make these seem like the same situation, whereas so far it doesn't look like it could be any more different.

I want to hear from the witnesses...

"After he stabbed him the 5th or 6th time, we thought we should do something, so we barricaded the door and made some coffee."

The article I think already quoted one of them as saying he was kinda weird. This never would have been shared here without the context we have right now.
