Re: The Horror

The media isn't divulging many details regarding the health status of those injured in the attacks the other night. The woman killed is being described as a hero who intervened when her husband was first stabbed. He continues to be in serious but stable condition. One of their children is also stable; the other appears to have sustained serious injuries and they are guarded in what the disclose about him. It doesn't sound good.

There may have been the unintended slant in what I wrote the other night that this was a family dispute gone seriously wrong. It turns out there is a connection but that it was a resident from across the hall who initiated the attack. He has a known history of mental problems and substance abuse / addiction. He has a relation to the family but a circuitous one.

There were 3 other young children present at the time but they were all uninjured, T.G.

** 3/12/08 - Just announced on the evening news that the youngest son, 3, succumbed to his injuries despite the very best efforts of emergency and all medical staff.

** 6/12/08 - Sadly, the husband and father has also died.
