Mother Arrested for Stabbing Both of Her Children

According to the police, a Valley area mother is now going to face child abuse charges after stabbing both of her children. How could anyone do that?

The court documents showed that Brenda Begay had called 911 on Monday. She claimed that both of her kids were dying. When the police got to the scene at 13th Avenue and Ironwood Drive, what they found was heart breaking. They found a twelve year old girl with a stab wound to her chest.

The Phoenix Police investigators say that the young girl woke up to her mother stabbing her. The little girl then told the officers that she ran to her older, (thirteen year old) brother’s room and found that he was lying on the floor. Police say that Begay’s son also had multiple stab wounds to the chest and on his wrist.

Neighbor, Jesus Gamez, Statement about the Stabbing

Why would a parent do that to their own child? I want to know what her state of mind was during that time.

I doubt you would really want to know what the heck someone was thinking when they murder or attempt to murder someone. Those poor children.

The court documents also show that Begay actually admitted to the police that she had wanted her kids to die. She was “trying to protect them” from getting raped. The documents also suggest that Begay might be in-stable.

This wasn’t Begay’s first run in with the Department of Child Safety. She has prior cases with them, she was convicted in 2005 in a child abuse case. During the trial, the courts questioned Begay’s mental state. They conducted an evaluation and gave her some medication. Begay has severed six months in jail and fifteen years probation.

Stabbed Santa Starts a Police Investigtion

Phoenix Police Investigate Inflatable Santa Stabbing

The Phoenix police are now investigating after someone has stabbed an inflatable Santa in front of a South Phoenix Home. Talk about cruel and unusual. Who would want to stab an inflatable Santa.

James Ahlgrim’s Statement about the Stabbing (Santa Owner)

What’s the little inflatable Santa hurting?

According to the report, you could see two men that were spotted on a surveillance camera. You could see them walking by the Ahlgrim’s home. The two men then looked to see if the coast was clear, however they did not realize the camera was catching their every move, the Ahlgrim’s home caught them on three different cameras.

Mr. Ahlgrim’s Statment:

There’s another camera right here that picks up all the way to the end of the street.

You could even see on the tape, that one of the guys slowly approached the inflatable Santa.

Ahlgrim’s Statment

He was making sure, looking around to see if anyone was coming out of the house and there he goes stabbing him.

You can then see the man actually stabbing the poor innocent, inflatable Santa three times. Talk about an over kill. The incident happened just after dusk the Sunday right before Thanksgiving.

Ahlgrim Worries About His Kids Safety

The part that bothers me is that it was early in the evening and any one of my kids could have been coming out. If they are going to stab a Santa, what else are they going to stab?

Jason Ahlgrim wants both of the people in the video to be arrested, which you can’t blame him. For one, that’s his property and second what kind of sick person does this? What if the children would have been outside?What if the creeps come back?

Police are asking that if you have any information on this to please call the Phoenix Police Department.

Man Imprisoned for Stabbing Walgreens Customer

Times are getting pretty tough when you can’t even go to the local pharmacy without being attacked. Personally I would be terrified to be a bank teller, convince store employee or anything that has to do with dealing with money in the public. People are struggling and will do anything to get some money. Heck most people that are robbing others are just trying to take the easy way out.

A man has now been charged for the attempts of first-degree murder. He allegedly was involve with stabbing a customer at Walgreens. The suspect, Christopher Gale purchased a knife from the local Walmart on September 21st. Christoper used the knife to stab a Walgreens customer who was shopping at the time. The Walgreens was located at West Osborn Road and North Central Avenue, according to the police.

Christoper Gale Attacks Walgreens Customer

According to the Phoenix Police, Christopher approached the shopper from behind and stabbed the female victim in the back of her neck. The lady then turned to face Christoper Gale and that is when he told her that he was “I’m killing you to save the world”. She then pushed him away and screamed. The victim and suspect did not know each other.

Luckily a federal agent was in the store as well, he was off duty at the time. The federal agent was standing in line at the checkout when he heard the female victim scream. The agent then ran to see what was happening. The agent was luckily armed and pointed the gun at Christoper Gale. He took control of the situation and yelled for Christoper to drop to the ground, Gald complied. The federal agent then held Christopher at gunpoint until the police backup was able to arrive. The suspect was read his Miranda rights and then Christopher admitted to buying the knife because he just wanted to “stab and kill” someone.

The female victim suffered from a large laceration and puncture wound to the base of her head. Authorities say it was 1.75” deep.

Witness, Anthony Huggins statement about the stabbing

I hit him and he just took it and looked at me like nothing happened. I couldn’t believe it. I was really scared. I couldn’t believe that this guy took a rock in the face and it didn’t do nothing to him. He took it like it was a normal punch or something.

The mother in this brutal crime is still in the hospital. Police were able to arrest Cory as he was trying to get away.

Reyna’s thankful she was there to help

I just thank God I was out there to save her ’cause when I saw her after he was done. I don’t think she could have handled any more stabbing.
