In a similar incident, at least four people were injured in a shooting in Lancaster in mid-October. The shooting had stemmed out of a family dispute and all victims were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, CBS reported. A few days later, a woman was stabbed with a sword by her own son in Mid-Wilshire. The woman suffered multiple wounds and lacerations to the arms and torso. The man was taken into custody and booked on suspicion of attempted murder.
