The mother, father and their 17-year-old daughter are reported to be seriously injured and “their lives are in danger”, a police spokesman said. Thirty minutes later, the second stabbing took place in the same neighborhood and one person was stabbed. Authorities say that this person’s life is also in danger, as a result of the injuries.
