A Texas father is facing capital murder charges for allegedly stabbing his nine-year-old son to death, police said.
The boy was found “unconscious and bleeding” Friday afternoon on the family’s home within the Dallas suburb of McKinney, said police, who responded to a call that a girl had found her gravely injured child.
Officers arrived on the scene and compelled their way into the house, where they found the girl’s husband harming himself with a knife.
The person’s son was found with multiple stab wounds within the garage and pronounced dead on the scene.
The daddy was taken to a hospital for medical treatment.
“Our thoughts and prayers exit to a McKinney family who experienced a tragic death of a 9-year-old boy today with this family tonight,” police said.
