HARPER WOODS, Mich. (FOX 2) - Ruth Tabone remembers her instincts kicking in after a woman ran to her home early Sunday evening with stab wounds and a knife in her back.
The victim, a resident of Harper Woods said her son had stabbed her and pleaded with Tabone to call police."She needs help so got 911, kept her as conscious as I could - helped her stay conscious, had to keep her staying up because she kept wanting to lay back which obviously she couldn’t because she had a knife in her back," the Harper Woods neighbor said.The emergency call wouldn't be the only interaction between neighbors and police that night as a standoff with the suspect inside would escalate to a barricaded gunman situation over the next six hours.
The frightening scene that unfolded in the 20600 block of Kenosha on July 10 started after the suspect, identified as the family's son, shot and killed his dad and girlfriend before then attacking his mom, according to a source.
The violence has shaken the neighborhood."(I'm) scared," said Star Harris. "I’m scared to even have my family come outside, it’s just I never knew it could happen over here.
