Charging documents are revealing disturbing new details after a 16-year-old was accused of stabbing his mother and two dogs Friday morning in Mishawaka.
The 16-year-old, who 16 News Now will not identify due to being a minor, is facing several felony charges, including one count of attempted murder, one count of aggravated battery, two counts of torturing an animal, one count of battery by means of a deadly weapon, and one count of battery.
Police say the teen knowingly attempted to kill his mother around 5:35 a.m. at a home in the 100 block of Oakside Avenue.
According to charging documents, the teen’s mother was the one to call 911.
During that call, she was reportedly heard saying “don’t kill me” over and over.
Before the mother was taken to the hospital — where she is reportedly in critical, but stable condition — she told police she had been stabbed by her son, who was still inside their home. According to charging documents, the teen could be seen through the windows, shirtless, with what appeared to be blood on his hands.
The teen followed police orders when he was told to walk out of the house and get onto the ground. As he was being placed into handcuffs, he reportedly said something along the lines of, “I understand. I look like a murderer.”
During a protective sweep of the house, officers found blood throughout the home and located a knife on a table. They also found the two dogs who had been stabbed. The Human Society was contacted and took the dogs from the scene for care.
Those two dogs are reportedly still alive and have been treated. Police say one of the dogs will survive his injuries, but the other dog has a 50/50 chance of survival.
