Last night, about half a mile from the scene of Saturday's assault, a man was arrested.
In Montecity Heights, danger is an ever-present threat. It comes from the inside out and back again from the outside in.
A woman was stabbed to death in her home after an argument escalated around 9:50pm.
The man who did it (if not her husband than something close) also stabbed his own son, a small 13 year old boy.
The woman is dead. The boy is not dead but his injuries are life-threatening.
What madness occured in that house while the rest of us settled down in our beds, thinking of work and errands. Did he grab her while she screamed- the boy looking on? Did he kill her in a fit of rage without intending to, then, horrified by what his son witnessed, decide to kill the boy as well?
What lives are these in Montecito Heights? What lives are led? What desparation?
