A Texas family, a mother, father, brother, and sister, were all stabbed during a fight at their home, according to authorities.
Deputies with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office responded to a family disturbance call shortly before 11 p.m. on Sunday, at a home on Regional Park Drive, just outside of downtown Houston, Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.
The altercation started between two adult siblings, a brother and sister, Gonzalez said.
The brother returned home that night intoxicated and armed with a handgun, and he and his sister got into a serious argument, that turned physical, according to Gonzalez.
The brother was disarmed during the brawl, Gonzalez said, and both parents stepped in, attempting to “break things up.” But the violence only got worse, and each family member grabbed a knife as the brawl continued, Gonzalez said.
When deputies arrived at the home, they found all four family members had been stabbed. They all survived their injuries, Gonzalez added.
The brother, 25-year-old Manuel Alfredo Gutierrez, was arrested on three charges of aggravated assault.
