Three people were taken to the hospital and one person was arrested after following a Monday evening stabbing on Monday evening in St. Regis.
Mineral County Sheriff Ryan Funk says he responded to the scene at around 8:30 p.m. and made contact with an adult victim who had visible wounds and a younger victim — described as juvenile — who had sustained life-threatening injuries.
The adult male told Sheriff Funk that there was a third victim inside the house, who was believed to already be dead. The suspect was also still inside when the sheriff arrived at the scene.
A deputy arrived for backup on the scene and a male victim and suspect were then located. The suspect in the stabbing was taken to the ground, arrested and then taken to the Mineral County Detention Center in Superior.
All three victims were taken to hospitals. According to a social media post, two of the victims in critical condition were taken to Missoula. The third person, who is reported to be in stable condition, was taken to Mineral Community Hospital.
Sheriff Funk says the Montana Department of Criminal Investigation was called to assist the Mineral County Sheriff's Office with processing the crime scene.
