A Palm Desert, California man has been accused of stabbing his wife and the woman’s two sons, ages 6 and 14.

Jose Ramirez, 46, who was being treated for apparently self-inflicted wounds, was expected to be charged with attempted murder, said Palm Desert police Sgt. Jim Armstrong.

The attack at the Hovley Garden Apartments off Avenue 42 was reported at 2:49 a.m. Someone who called 911 reported seeing a man repeatedly stabbing a female, Armstrong said.

Arriving deputies found a woman and two boys with multiple stab wounds. They learned the suspect was the woman’s husband, and forced their way into the apartment.
