PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Authorities say a woman was killed and a man critically injured in a double stabbing in a northeast Philadelphia home.

Officers and emergency responders were called to the residence in the Point Breeze neighborhood shortly before 4 p.m. Friday and found the 63-year-old woman dead of several stab wounds.

Authorities said the 67-year-old man was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center in critical condition with stab wound to the neck and chest.
