WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas man who stabbed a woman in a random attack has been sentenced to about 24 years in prison.
Wade Dunn, 32, Wichita, was sentenced Wednesday for attempted second-degree murder and aggravated battery.
Police say Dunn stabbed a 28-year-old woman about 30 times as she was loading laundry into her car with her baby alone inside her house. He did not know the woman. She survived and the child was not injured.
Authorities say Dunn escaped from the Mirror Residential Reentry Center hours before the attack. Dunn testified at his trial that he was high on drugs at the time of the attack.

SEDGWICK COUNTY — A Kansas man convicted in April of second-degree murder for the random stabbing of a woman who he didn't know is scheduled for sentencing Wednesday, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
In September 2019, Wade Dunn, 32, stabbed the 28-year-old woman 30 times as she unloaded items from her car. Dunn said he was high on K2 and methamphetamine when he saw the woman as he walked in her neighborhood. The victim survived her injuries.
The jury initially convicted Dunn of first-degree attempted murder but told the judge not everyone agreed. After being sent back to deliberate again, the jury returned with the second-degree attempted murder conviction.
