Story summary

On October 6, in Northlake, Texas, Holly Flores, 37, allegedly attacked her husband Justin Hommel, 34, and their two young children — a three-year-old girl and a ten-month-old boy — with a knife before sunrise. The incident began when Hommel called 911 around 4:20 AM after being stabbed by his wife in the head.

Responders discovered Flores's husband and both children had stab wounds, with the kids sustaining injuries to their chests. All were rushed to the hospital for treatment; they are expected to survive but remain under medical observation. Flores was taken into custody and faces charges including two counts of attempted capital murder and one charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

According to Hommel's statements, his wife had been struggling with postpartum depression, which might have contributed to the violent episode. The Northlake Police Department has previously responded five times since March for welfare concerns at their residence.
