Portland, Oregon, dominated headlines this weekend after a vicious stabbing Friday night left two dead and one hospitalized.
The man who is believed to be at the center of the killings is 35 year-old Jeremy Christian. He'll be arraigned Tuesday.
It all started on a train. Witnesses say Christian targeted two girls in an anti-Muslim rant. Bystanders stepped in. That's when they say Christian pulled a knife and attacked.
Emotions are running high in Portland now, but there could be more tension to come. That's because there are two alt-right rallies scheduled for early next month.
Take Two talked with Maxine Bernstein, a reporter for The Oregonian.
