2 dead, 3 wounded in home-invasion stabbings in Yakima
YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — Authorities say multiple stabbings during a home-invasion robbery in Yakima left two suspects dead and three residents wounded over the weekend.
The Yakima Herald-Republic reports the break-in occurred before 4 a.m. Sunday. Police say two men, identified by Yakima County Coroner Jack Hawkins as being in their 20s or 30s, forced their way inside, and a fight broke out between them and the family members who live there.
Three of the residents were stabbed, as were both suspects. The residents were taken to a local hospital.
No further information was immediately released about the wounded family members. Officers also wouldn't say if the suspects and residents of the home knew each other.
