I'm not sure if this has been posted, but this is from the Ventura County Star (California). Pretty disturbing...
The Newbury Park teenager suspected of breaking into three homes in the Thousand Oaks area and stabbing three people early Thursday morning may have been under the influence of stimulants and hallucinogenic drugs, authorities said.
Kyle Rubin, 19, was arrested shortly after 4 a.m. at a home on the 300 block of Danville Avenue on suspicion of burglary and attempted murder after he allegedly broke in, stabbed an 8-year-old girl who was in bed sleeping and then attacked the child's mother with a knife when she intervened, said Detective Allen Devers of the Thousand Oaks Police Department.
The girl, who suffered a serious wound to her neck, underwent surgery at Los Robles Hospital & Medical Center Thursday morning, Devers said. Her wounds did not appear to be life threatening.
The girl's mother also suffered injuries, including a laceration to her neck.
Devers said Rubin attempted to flee the home after the girl's mother broke free of his grip, but the father of the family detained the teenage assailant.
Rubin was in the process of being booked into the Ventura County Jail Thursday morning on suspicion of attempted murder and residential burglary.
Devers said Rubin is a suspect in two other break-ins and another stabbing that occurred in the Thousand Oaks area Thursday morning.
Rubin allegedly stabbed a sleeping man in the back after breaking into the home of family friends on the 400 block of Blackhawk Drive in Thousand Oaks about 3:30 a.m., Devers said. Information about the severity of the man's injury was not available.
Devers said Rubin left the house on Blackhawk Drive immediately after the attack.
At some point in the early morning, he allegedly broke into the garage of another home on the street. Devers said the investigation into the crimes is ongoing, but police believe drugs played a role in the alleged attacks.
"We have reason to believe that he had been using methamphetamine and acid," he said.
Rubin's court record shows one alcohol-related misdemeanor conviction, according to the Ventura County Superior Court Web site. Devers, a 21-year veteran of the Thousand Oaks Police Department, called the attacks "very shocking."
"It's something that we don't experience in this county very often," he said.
