Two young children and a father are recovering in the hospital after investigators say a Texas mother went on a stabbing spree inside the family’s home on Tuesday.
Holly Leeann Flores, 37, of Northlake, Texas, is accused of stabbing her two children, a 10-month-old infant and a 3-year-old toddler, before the children’s father tried to intervene, investigators say.
Her husband, 34, called 911 early Tuesday morning saying his wife had a knife and stabbed him; when first responders arrived they found the children with chest-area stab wounds.
