WESTMINSTER, Calif. — Police say they suspect a mother stabbed her two young daughters and then herself at an Orange County home.

All three were hospitalized. Lewis says one of the daughters is in critical condition while the injuries of the mother and the other girl are not considered life-threatening.

Lewis says several knives were recovered from the home.

There’s no immediate word on what might have prompted the attack.
