A mother in Carrollton, Texas stabbed her husband before driving her car into a lake with her three children inside.
According to authorities, Wei Fen Ong, was arrested with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon resulting in bodily injury.
Police responded to a call just before 8 a.m. that morning about a man who said he’d been stabbed by his wife. Carrollton Fire Rescue brought the man to the hospital, where he is being treated and is expected to survive.
A very short time after, authorities in the nearby town of Lewisville received a separate 911 call about a woman and her three children, ages 8, 9, and 12, all of whom were inside a car that had been driven into a lake.
Authorities said, “All four people were removed from the car and taken to local hospitals for treatment, including one child who remains in critical condition. Family members have bee properly notified and are currently cooperating with the investigation.”
A possible motive for the violence that triggered Ong has not been made public.
However, Ong was taken into custody by Carrollton police and was expected to be transferred to the Denton County Detention Facility.
