An unidentified suspect allegedly stabbed a woman to death yesterday at an Ingleside Heights church before attempting suicide.
Police responded to a domestic violence call at Chinese Christian Church (10 Chester Ave.) at 2:11pm and found a 37-year-old woman suffering from a stab wound, along with a 42-year-old man who appeared to have multiple self-inflicted injuries.
According to SFGate, witnesses said the suspect and victim argued outside the church before the attack.
