CHINO HILLS, Calif. — A mother was arrested earlier this week for allegedly stabbing her 13-year-old son before turning the knife on herself.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department was called out to a home on Avenida Anita in Chino Hills just before 8 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 23, after reports of a stabbing. 

When deputies got there, they found the 13-year-old boy and his mother, who they identified as Yon Chu Pak, both with multiple stab wounds. Paramedics brought them both to a local trauma center.
