Police were dispatched to a report of a stabbing at a hotel in the 14400 block of Tukwila
International Blvd. A female victim was found in the parking lot where she was being
assisted by citizens. A male left the area and was found two blocks south of the scene
by officers. Both of the victims' injuries were serious.
Officers went to the room where the incident took place and forced entry to make sure
no more victims were inside. A female attempted to barricade herself in the bathroom
but was taken into custody after a brief struggle. She was armed with a knife and had
what appeared to be self inflicted knife wounds. Initial information indicated that this
female stabbed the other two victims but more information is being developed that
another female suspect may be involved. All of the involved parties are known to
police.
All three injured parties were transported to Harborview for treatment. Narcotics and
Major Crimes detectives are working on the case to determine the cause of the attack.
