Two people, a male and a female, have been charged with two counts of Attempted Murder in connection with an early morning incident on Thursday, September 27th that sent two males to hospital with serious injuries.
The incident began sometime before 2:05 a.m. on Thursday, September 27, 2012, when police were dispatched to the 1400 block of Angus Street for a report of a group of people fighting. Police and EMS arrived in the area and police located a 32 year-old male in the area of 8th Avenue and Angus Street. The male appeared to have sustained a number of stab wounds. He was transported to hospital by EMS. At about the same time, other officers located a second injured person, a 39 year-old male, on the rear deck of a house in the 1400 block of Angus Street.
