Several officers began rendering first aid to the 36-year-old victim and learned from her that her three children were still inside the residence. The victim told officers her family lived in the rear home of the duplex residence.Additional officers went to the rear portion of the home and confronted the armed suspect at the rear patio sliding door. The suspect was holding a knife and was bleeding from self-inflicted knife wounds. Officers began negotiating with the suspect asking him to surrender. A second team of officers entered the residence from another door and safely evacuated a 3-year-old boy and 6-year-old boy who were unharmed. The 11-year-old female was down on the floor with stab wounds in the same room as the suspect. As the officers in the rear yard were negotiating with the armed suspect, two officers were able to covertly grab the 11-year-old child and take her out of the house. Officers began first aid and life-saving efforts on her immediately.<\/p>\n
