Kiernan said police tried to get his attention but he “returned to her actively stabbing and stabbing at her body.“

Some of the stab wounds were made during the response to the incident and while police officers were there.

Only the mother and son were inside the house at the time. Numerous incidents had been reported at this residence before, he said.
