Two young children and their father are recovering in a hospital after a Texas mother allegedly stabbed them inside the family’s Northlake home Tuesday, investigators said.
Holly Leeann Flores, 37, is accused of attacking her children—a 10-month-old baby and a 3-year-old toddler—before their father attempted to intervene, according to investigators.
The 34-year-old father called 911 early Tuesday and reported that his wife had a knife and had stabbed him. Responding officers found both children suffering from stab wounds to the chest area.
