“first reports of the incident came in at around 11:16 a.m.”
SINGLE SOURCE
While the claim is specific, the provided web search results for this claim are irrelevant (discussing language/spelling/literature) and do not contain the time '11:16 a.m.'. The relevant web search results for the overall event (claims 0, 4) mention the stabbing occurred 'late morning' or 'shortly after 11am', but none specify '11:16 a.m.' as the first report time. Therefore, the specific time cannot be verified.
