CBS 2's Dave Carlin reported that the 62-year-old woman was stabbed in the torso, the young boy was slashed in the shoulder and his mother, the deceased woman's sister, was stabbed in the leg. All three of them were taken to Lutheran Medical Center.
Witnesses said screaming from the home caught the attention of people from an auto-body shop across the street. Justin Errante, whose friends worked in the shop, described the scene to Sheridan.
"They heard the screams and they just kind of kept an eye on the house and the woman with the injuries to her arm and hand came running out screaming for help," Errante said. "They ran in to see if they could help and that's when they saw the boy and the women in worse shape. And then they decided to call 911 and get out of there."
Police also were able to catch the suspect a few blocks away.
"Immediately the cops just took off in every direction, so their immediate response is what got him quick," Errante told Carlin.
