Woman's stabbing spree on her own mother

Morrisville, N.C. — A 28-year-old woman is dead after being shot by police on Saturday.

Around 7 p.m., police said they shot the woman, whose name has not been released, after they saw her chasing and stabbing her mother repeatedly with a knife on Kudrow Lane.

Officers told the woman to drop the knife, but when she did not they shot her, officials said.

Both the woman and her mother were transported to WakeMed. The daughter died at the hospital.

The woman’s mother, whose name has not been released, is in stable condition. She had multiple lacerations on her back and chest. She is expected to undergo surgery, officials said.

The daughter lived in the Preston Creekside condominiums on Kudrow Lane and the mother was visiting from India. An argument between the two in the condominium spilled into the front yard, police said. It is unknown why the two were arguing.

Mayor Jan Faulkner, who lives about a half-mile from the scene, went to the scene.

“This is the first time since I’ve been on the board in 12 years that something like this has happened to this extreme and we’re very concerned about the family that’s involved here,” Faulkner said.
