SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police say an attack on a woman and two young children inside their East Side apartment early Friday appears to be related to family violence.
They found the victims, a 31-year-old woman and her children, a four-year old girl and five-year-old boy, inside their home at the Olive Park apartments.
Officers had received a call about the stabbings around 3 a.m. from a neighbor at the complex, located in the 500 block of Burleson.
Outside in the parking lot, police found a 33-year-old man also bleeding from stab wounds and from being shot.
“All people stabbed were transported to a hospital,” said Officer Ricardo Guzman, a public information officer with SAPD. “From what we know right now, what we believed to have happened is the male is the suspect.”
Police believe the man stabbed all three of the other victims.
It was not clear right away how he was stabbed or shot.
They said the boy who was stabbed was in critical condition.

“There are still a lot of details that are coming through, so we don’t know exactly what took place that led up to this incident,” Guzman said.
During their investigation, detectives focused on searching the victims’ apartment, as well as the one next door.
Police declined to comment on why they were searching the neighbors’ home.
Officers said they did recover some evidence at the scene, but refused to elaborate on whether that included any of the weapons involved.
