A 37-year-old Denton County woman is facing serious criminal charges after authorities say she stabbed her husband and two young children inside their Northlake home in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Northlake Police Department officers were dispatched to a residence on the 1200 block of Daylily Drive at around 4:20 a.m. following reports of a stabbing in progress. Dispatchers received word that a man had called for help after his wife allegedly attacked him with a knife.
Officers arrived within minutes and detained an adult female at the scene. They also found a 34-year-old man suffering from a stab wound to the head.
During a sweep of the home to check for additional victims officers made a disturbing discovery. Two small children had also been stabbed. A three-year-old and a ten-month-old infant both sustained stab wounds to the chest.
Fire and EMS crews responded and rushed the father and both children to a hospital in Fort Worth. The severity of their injuries has not been publicly confirmed as the investigation remains active.
The suspect was transported to a Denton hospital for observation and evaluation of possible injuries. She was treated and released before being taken into custody and booked into the Denton County Jail.
Authorities identified the suspect as Holly Leeann Flores. She now faces two counts of attempted capital murder in connection with the attacks on the children as well as one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon related to the injuries sustained by her husband.
The Northlake Police Department confirmed the investigation is ongoing and has not released additional details regarding a possible motive or the current conditions of the victims.
