The West side of San Antonio was the scene of a tragic family incident. 58-year-old Linda Zamarripa was fatally stabbed in the chest by her daughter. Officials were alerted to a stabbing that occurred just before 3 p.m., near the intersection of Farnsworth Drive and Barkston Drive, as reported by FOX San Antonio.
According to the details furnished by the Bexar County Sheriff's Office and cited by News 4 San Antonio, after receiving a distressing call from a woman claiming to have stabbed a relative, deputies arrived to find the mother deceased from a knife wound.
