Le had been treated for stab wounds at UCI Medical Center in Orange
before being released, arrested and booked into Orange County Jail on
attempted murder charges.
Her daughters, who have not been
identified because of their ages, remain at the same medical center.
Though the youngest was clinging to life after the incident, both are
now expected to survive, according to the Westminster Police
Department.
Officers responded to a reported stabbing at 14372 Starsia about 6:30 a.m. Wednesday. Inside they discovered the three stabbing
victims. Police say the mother, identified
as Le, told officers that she had
stabbed her daughters then had tried to kill herself.
