Six Injured in Republic Domestic-Related Stabbing

Six people were injured Sunday in a domestic-related stabbing on the 50 block of Park Street in the village of Republic, Redstone Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, after troopers were called around 12:30 p.m. Two victims were flown by medical helicopter to trauma centers, three were taken to hospitals by ambulance, and a sixth person was treated and released at the scene; the exact conditions of the injured were not immediately known. State police described the event as an isolated domestic-related altercation, said there is no threat to the public, and said they are investigating. Neighbors told reporters the incident involved a woman who had recently moved back in with her parents with her two children to escape an estranged husband, and said the husband returned and attacked the family while others were inside watching a Steelers game; those accounts have not been independently confirmed. Officers, the district attorney's office and first responders processed the scene as authorities continued to gather information.
