\u201cI can tell you that an altercation occurred inside the home and two women were stabbed,\u201d PRP Media Officer Laurie McCann told reporters at the scene on Friday morning.<\/p>\n
\u201cA female in her 70s and a second female is in her 50s,\u201d said McCann. \u201cI can tell you that both those victims were transferred to a trauma centre and they\u2019re both currently listed in life-threatening condition.\u201d<\/p>\n
She later added that their conditions were \u201csomewhat stable.\u201d, noting that \u201cthose two terms don\u2019t really go together but they are stable at this time, if that makes sense.\u201d<\/p>\n
McCann said the male suspect was tracked down by police in a vehicle that was not his, but not stolen, a short distance away.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe suspect that was on scene did flee the area in a vehicle and was caught a short time later by police,\u201d she said.\u00a0 \u201cThat suspect is a 46-year-old man that is now in custody and currently facing charges of two counts of attempted murder.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cops say victims, suspect are related<\/p>\n
McCann said the victims and the suspect are related to each other, but wouldn\u2019t elaborate further \u201cto protect the victims and the rest of the family.\u201d<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t say if other people, including children, were in the home at the time of the stabbings. McCann didn\u2019t believe so, stating someone in the home made the initial call to police.<\/p>\n
A weapon was recovered at the scene.<\/p>\n
The police spokesperson said it was \u201ctoo early to determine\u201d if it was a case of intimate partner violence, but noted \u201cthere\u2019s a good chance it\u2019s not.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unknown whether police had been previously called to the home for any kind of domestic calls.<\/p>\n
McCann also couldn\u2019t comment on whether the male suspect lived at the home where the stabbings allegedly occurred. She noted it was an isolated incident and there was no threat to public safety.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo officers were injured, and there\u2019s no other injuries at this time and there\u2019s no other suspects that we\u2019re looking for,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
