CALGARY -- Two women are dead and a third is injured in hospital after a stabbing spree at a home in the city’s southeast Sunday night.
One man was arrested and taken into custody.
Police were called to a home in the 6400 block of Penbrooke Dr. S.E. shortly before 6:30 p.m. where they found one victim, a woman in her 30s, who had died in her neighbour's arms at the front of the house.
The neighbour told QMI Agency she heard screaming, followed by "we need an ambulance, she's been hit" and went tearing out of her home because she thought a child had been run over.
She found a woman from a couple of doors down bleeding out in front of the home.
She went for the woman while her fiance went for a first aid kit.
"I saw all the blood," the neighbour said. "I got down beside her ... I put pressure and I just kept telling her 'please stay with us, please just stay with us'."
But it was too late.
"By the time I got (to her) there was nothing," her fiance said.
At one point a child came out of the home and was taken into the care of police.
Other neighbours heard the commotion as well.
Brian Racette said the screaming everyone heard "was like a death scream ... really loud screaming."
And then he saw a neighbour rushing past to try to save another, only to have her "pass away in her arms."
Cops found two other victims inside the home.
Both were suffering stab wounds and taken to hospital where one, a woman also in her 30s, later died.
The third victim was still in hospital Sunday evening, but her condition was not considered life-threatening.
Neighbours said they heard yelling before ambulances and police cruisers arrived — one rushing over to help the dying victim but it was too late.
Police said the suspect had fled the residence, but he was later found in the city and arrested.
Police said the stabbings is not considered random, but did not elaborate.
"We're not looking for anybody else," Det. Torrie Killam said.
