According to reports, the son of the 40-year-old, who is nine years old, alerted his mother about the incoming danger as his father charged her with the weapons.

The father of one was prevented by well-meaning individuals before the police arrived. The reports further noted that Husges has been charged with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm.

As revealed by the county inmate records, the husband has been booked into the Orange County jail and is held on bail at a whopping sum of five hundred thousand dollars. The cause of the attack remains unknown.
