ATTLEBORO, MASS. (WHDH) - An investigation is underway after two women were stabbed in Attleboro Friday afternoon.

Officers responding to multiple 911 calls for commotion at a home on Leroy Street around 4 p.m. found two women in their twenties suffering from stab wounds, according to a release issued by Bristol County District Attorney Thomas M. Quinn III.

One of the women, later identified as 28-year-old Kimberly Duphily of Attleboro, was rushed to Sturdy Memorial Hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries.

The second victim, a woman in her 20s, was hospitalized for minor injuries and was released from the hospital, according to a statement from the district attorney’s office on Saturday.

Some people in the area tried to offer help before first responders arrived.

“There were some good Samaritans that came to the aid of the victims that rendered aid before we got on scene,” Police Chief Kyle Heagney said.

 

So far, the motive for the stabbing is unclear and no suspects have been charged.
