Officers said a woman who had been stabbed opened the door. After an officer asked the woman to come out onto the porch and sit down, they entered the home and saw blood on the first floor, police said.

When officers went upstairs, they found a girl lying on a bed who had been stabbed. Her injuries were severe, officers added.

The woman and the girl were taken to the hospital and police remained at the house since their initial call.

Police say they were stabbed to death by 36-year-old Dana Plummer before he kidnapped the three children. Plummer’s relationship to the girl is unknown, but police confirmed the woman he stabbed was the mother of his three children.

After a chase, the car driven by Plummer – in which the three children were – crashed in Maryland, police said.
