A 3-day-old girl and a 1-month-old girl were stabbed in the abdomen, and a 20-day-old girl suffered cuts to her ear, chin and lip.
Police say the father of a child at the center and a woman who worked there were also stabbed. All are in critical but stable condition.

Charges are pending. Police say a butcher knife and meat cleaver were found at the scene.
A motive hasn’t been determined. It isn’t clear whether the day care center was licensed.
Horrible news.
