Police take woman into custody in Northwest El Paso after 14-year-old found stabbed<\/a><\/p>\nPolice documents say the victim told investigators he was sitting on his gaming chair playing video games when King allegedly entered his room armed with a baseball bat and a knife. The boy said he told King to put the weapons down, but she allegedly refused and began stabbing him. The victim described trying to take the knife away before running to the first floor, where his brother helped him hide and lock themselves in a room until police arrived.<\/p>\n
Investigators also interviewed the brother, who said he was in his room when he heard slamming, running and screaming from upstairs. He told investigators he heard, <\/p>\n
She\u2019s trying to kill me, she\u2019s trying to kill me.<\/p>\n
According to investigators, the brother said that when he came out of his room, he saw his 14-year-old brother covered in blood, crawling down the stairs, and King allegedly chasing him with a knife in her hand. The brother said the 14-year-old grabbed a kitchen stool to use as a shield before the two escaped into the brother’s room, locked the door and called 911.<\/p>\n
As he recounted the incident, the brother told investigators there was a lot of blood and that he tried to stop the bleeding by putting towels on what he described as the “biggest holes,” adding that the towels would fill with blood “very quickly.”<\/p>\n
According to the documents, the 14-year-old was stabbed twice in the neck, twice in the right arm and once in the chest near the left armpit. He was also cut once on his right hand when he tried to take the knife away from the suspect, the documents state.<\/p>\n
The stabbing led to a standoff with SWAT as King allegedly barricaded herself in the home from the time police arrived around 5:47 p.m. until officers entered the home and arrested her around 10:20 p.m.<\/p>\n
According to the documents, when the responding officer arrived, he was met by the brother, who let the officer into the home. After the officer learned King was in the home’s garage, he reportedly covered the door to protect those inside and told them to leave the home. The officer described seeing “lots of blood on the floor” when he entered, according to the documents.<\/p>\n
Jail records show King was booked into the El Paso County Downtown Jail on Wednesday, and her bond was set at $100,000.<\/p>\n
Police documents did not reveal the relationship between King and the victim. <\/p>\n
